And FWIW: The computer seems pretty accurate with the MPG estimate
I pulled the nozzle out after the first click (as I generally do) when I filled up this morning, dug out the calculator, and divided the current mileage (611.1) by the amount of fuel (13.259) and got 46.09 MPG which was slightly...

And FWIW: Us really cool, old school Mav guys have been buying and installing KIA Homlink mirrors to solve the problem, but a friend recently bought a new $50K Hyundai (same company as KIA) SUV that has a Home link...
Well, ya, maybe...
Batteries are the closest thing to Voodoo magic that most of us will ever experience. Two equal batteries in equal cars (or trucks in our case) parked on the same street and driven in similar circumstances by identical-twin brothers will last however long they d**n well want...
