Default Mpg?

I just got a used 2010 Forte ex 4sp AT with 40k miles on it.
Just wanna ask how to track the EPA MPG and what's yours also.

I think you have the same trip computer as my '10 soul so you'll have to calculate it manually my taking totals miles driven divided by number of gallons filled.

Thanks guys, im roughly at 19mpg. I really haven't filled up the tank yet, this is solely base on like a calculation. Also I check the filter in the glove compartment, I think it needs replacement. Gonna check it out with my dealer

The cabin filter has nothing to do w/ mpg FYI. It's something you can go to any auto parts store and pick up a filter and do it yourself in about 5 min. The dealer is going to stick it to you.

Stick it to you? They can be had for 19.95 and down. Not to bad, for OEM fit and quality.
