do you reset it at every fill-up?

I reset trip A but not B so have over 10k miles on B right now.

I use trip A for gas and trip B for oil changes...

I set oil change interval to 5,500 mi on the infotainment. Don't ask me why I picked 5,500.

Got any of bricks or pigs?

I'd hardly call them bricks. Worse than many modern sedans, true, but not bad actually. 0.33 is the same as the Mazda RX-9 and BETTER than an MX-5/Miata (0.36). Oh, and there's NO WAY that a stock 60s Dart was 0.30. 0.40 maybe, but even that's a stretch. You may be referring to the highly aerodynamically modified Daytona, but that's a bit unfair, don't you think?

And lets not forget the truck of our "dreams", Tesla.

Tesla claims .34 and an independent test .38. Too bad the truck won't do much more than attract attention...ugh

well they do haul ass and you can pull a pretty big trailer with one. There is one in my town and almost every time I see it is towing a good size camp trailer..looks odd and figured it is a test unit as otherwise not sure why they are always towing a trailer.

I have mine set at 5000 miles but still like clicking to the tripB to see where I am at. 5500 is a good interval tho.

Yep it has an impressive 0 to 60. I don't buy trucks to race. My truck is my tow pig for my race car...

AI says Tesla truck towing the a10K trailer is 150 miles HOWEVER real world testing shows it pulls a trailer 50 miles....

Even if it would go 150 mi, that might get me halfway to my destination. Then cool my heals a few hours while it charges. If it get's 50 miles, I have to stay home and learn how to treat a brushed SS finish..

Buyer be ware....

I'm not scraping my dinosaur diesel.
