Mine doesn't have that feature. I wish it did.

They all do, you just have to enable it on the stereo.

I thought this was only doable on the 06+ models, as the earlier ones were slightly different.

hmmm....I did it on my friends 05, but it may have an 06....I'll double check....

Did you check those numbers aginst how much fuel you are putting into the car or just based on what the computer is telling you?

2006 3S Manual. I do mostly city driving and I usually get from 26 to 28 mpg. On the highway, it's been around 32 mpg. I have 43k miles on it now, and I've been getting the same mpg since the day I bought it.

Both. I am getting closer to 400 miles to a tank now, compared to 320 before.
