    Hi, I'm new to this forum but I'm not new to forums. I definitely know forum etiquette. I have a 2019 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro VooDoo Blue and I have a question about the gauge(s).
    When driving there is an MPG gauge that shows the current mpg. Mine normally sits around 12.7 mpg (ugh). Anyway, there is an mpg current progress bar that is either Blue or Orange. At first I thought it turned Orange at night and Blue during daytime. But lately it has been Orange during the day and blue at night. So then I thought it was like orange if the tank was below half and blue if it was more than half full. That didn't pan out either.

    Can anyone tell me why the difference in color? I would greatly appreciate it. I've checked with my dealer, but they have no idea. I've been researching this and I can't find an answer. Maybe I"m asking the wrong question..... Thanks in advance

    P.S. I wasn't sure if I should put this in Electrical thread as it's more of a display question??? So I apologoze if I placed it in the wrong spot.

    Don’t quote me but I think if you go into your entune settings in your radio, “general” settings there is a setting to change the color of your fonts, I know blue and orange is one of them forget the other ones. That could be it.

    Yeah I'll check into that. Still, it's curious as to why it would change from Blue to Orange randomly

    On your radio what is your highlighted color? Like your presets? Are they orange

    My 2019 didn't change colors on the mpg bar. It just moved side to side. Do you have a pic of the gauge? Apologies if you put it in the first post, it isn't showing up for me.

    Welcome:thumbsup:
    This answer is probably in your owners manual. But my guess is it changes if your mileage is bad or good. Press the skinny pedal and see if it changes. Probably wrong but I tried:D
