I had an hour meter on my truck for several hundred thou. before removing it.
Based on that info and applying it to the present vehicle mileage

546,000 miles= 13000 hours at 42 mph.

This also includes a fair amount of idling time.
Almost all miles driven on open road

Yours sounds like it is digital, mine is analog (ie old timey). If I push it it will reset my trip to zero.

And if you hold it in it will display hours

It's an 01 not old. Push and hold for a few seconds

32.5 average, wow what a slug!

previously owned, only the last 2k miles are on me, so I have no idea what the previous owner did, but certainly didn't speed!

well, that's about 29 mph averaged over the total miles...

look back over the thread for other average mph 2 see where u fit...

(but it's not a competition)

got no idea what the idle 96 info means.

cheers

81,032 miles, and 2776 hours. = 29.2 MPH

However, it had right at 50K on it when I got it a little over a year ago, so I can plead not responsible.

F-250 V-10 Gasoline

6,195.5 miles

269 hours

23.03 mph

The milage is perhaps a little low for meaningful conclusions.
There are no very long trips in these miles.
Most of the towing has been non-interstate roads.
My maximum towing speed is 55 mph.
