Trip Computer

[Darius28]

Hi, i was just wondering has anyone had the same bizzare thing with their trip computers? sometimes the option which shows average mpg goes mental showing average 99mpg!! or starts going down to 0mpg. but then it seems that it sorts it out itself. So has anyone had something similar? thanks

The reading that fluctuates between 99.9 and less is the instantaneous current fuel consumption, when engine is idling, eg going downhill, no fuel is used so 99.9 mpg shows. When pulling up a hill it drops to single figures.

You may need to shuffle through the display options to get average consumption which can be reset after refuelling etc. Other displays can be elapsed time, remaining mileage based on last ten minutes consumption.
