What is the proper way to use this? Do I reset the mpg computer only when I
fill the tank ? or hit the reset button every time I go someplace.? My truck
is an 04 ram 1500,hemi quad cab 355 gears,shortbed with 17in wheels. What
should I be getting for a reading around town with the bed empty?

Use it however suits you the best. On mine, I reset it when I change the oil
and don't pay much attention to it. Around town mileage, depending on your
right foot of course, will probably be around the 12-13 mpg range.

we tend to use it to track mileage on long trips... since it will match your
dash odometer, it's kind of a waste having the computer track it, too..

I like Denny's idea of using it for an oil change reminder, though... except
that we change our synthetic once or twice a year..
