My first go on IQ forum and I see a few old posts on this problem but think it may be worth re-opening.
We bought our manual IQ2 in June and have been watching the average mpg display carefully.
First surprise was how it only resets itself when you refuel - what bright spark thought that one up! I want to reset when I decide.
Next, driving it carefully, I watched the average figure rise to 60.0 and no more!
Then I set it to instant mpg and even coasting downhill, it never got above 60.0.
So I spoke to the dealer and after checking the other IQs in the showroom he said they all max out at 60.0
So I phoned Toyota Customer Service and after a long wait they said it was a problem they were aware of and they were trying to find a solution. They advised me to keep checking with the dealer to see if a mod had been issued.
How ironic that one of the few cars with stated mpg above 60 has this fault !
Anyone had the same experience ?

I have the IQ(3) and that only goes to 60mpg, only when coasting thou. So its still a problem.

I'm averaging:
50mpg on Adsa's unleaded
54mpg on tescos super unleaded

Yet to try Shells super unleaded or what ever they call it. Thats the next fill up.

mmmm... puzzling. i was wondering why it didn't go over 60. i thought it had something to do with the breaking in stage. suppose it's a trip back to the dealer if they manage to find a fix although my suspicion is that they found out about the 60 limit at too late a stage before the car's release. i mean it's a bit obvious to overlook in a car so concientiously designed for fuel economy and eco-driving.

Think they all do it from what i remember. I run a scangauge and get in the 70's when crusing in 6th gear. Average mpg is about 2 mpg higher than the cars display. The instant mpg figure agrees with the car display until 60. All based on iq3 spec.

They all got it - probably be easy enough to fix the software, its all plug and play stuff these days, maybe by the time we get our first service it'll be sorted

We've just taken delivery of our IQ2 and its happily registering over 60mpg average on the clock, and the instant goes all the way up to 99

Sounds like it might be fixed now. I hope they can apply this retrospectively....I want to see 99mpg on my readout!

For those with UK iQ's with the 60mpg maximum fuel consumption readout problem (not a problem in later cars) , in case you have not heard, there is now a fix which I had done on my iQ today.

The odometer has reverted to 0 miles (plus the mileage home from the dealer), so it looks like the "fix" is to change the display unit, and not just a software update.Although I suppose a software update could zero everything.

The service lady said the dashboard would need to come off so it must be quite involved.
