New 2018 Touring (sedan) owner. How reliable would you say the MPG indicators are on the Civic? I ask, because, today, when driving home I noticed that the fuel efficiency lights (the "eyebrows") would go solid green if I would accelerate up to and above 80 MPH, but if I went down to the mid 60s to low 70s the "eyebrows" would turn white. It wasn't just those color coded lights -- I think they're called the ambient lights? When I switched the dash display to the MPG setting, it would also indicate a greater MPG at the higher speeds -- even when I was sometimes aggressively accelerating to those higher speeds. Anyone else experience this? I would assume that if I'm hitting the gas pretty hard and rapidly accelerating to a higher speed, my driving would be less fuel efficient. What gives? Maybe it's all physics? I was a liberal arts major. No, I was not in Econ mode, nor was I shifting into "S" at anytime.
