Guys,

I was playing with the EVIC and reset is to "zero" on the fuel mileage. I am getting 4.0 m.p.g. max now :shock:

I have driven maybe 300 miles since resetting. What gives? I was thinking the mileage was instant. If it's an average then I have a ways to go.


Thanks,

Tom

I do not know what the "4" means but do wonder if you have somehow reset the EVIC to metric in which case that # is "liters per 100 km (L/100 km)" per the Owner's Manual.

The mpg is a running average since last fill-up per Owner's Manual.

Papa,

I left off my units... 4.0 miles/gallon.
The units are still in English and not metric. Today I reset to 0.0 and after 50+ miles of driving have averaged zero miles per gallon :roll:
