MPG average

[mrchic]

Hi

 

My MPG average dropped from its usual 26 to 0.5 mpg

 

Each day it goes up very slowly and now its about 2.3 mpg

 

Thankfully the DTE is about the same

 

Anyone had this issue

 

Cheers

Have you reset it?

Have you reset it?

 

When you say reset it, do you mean have i pressed something by mistake, or are you saying there is a reset option, i may have tried holding the button in whilst on the MPG menu but i cant remember if anything happened.

 

I thought it might just sort itself out after a while, sometimes when i fill up the DTE doesn't always register straight away

You need to hold the lower of the two buttons left of the binical, you'll then get a couple of lines scrolling across the gauge which basically means its resetting your mpg.

The reason it goes so low is... if your car is stationary your getting 0mpg. So if your at a car park with ur homies just chillin for 2hours, ur ride gets confused and be like "am wasting fuel!". Basically reset trip computer.

The best time to reset it is when your rolling along in neutral. See how high you can get your MPG

haha i reset at the top of a three mile downhill stretch in wales, after putting it in neutral... probably would have got even better if i'd have kept it in gear, but anyways... the mpg reading was maxed out at 99 for a good 10 minutes before dropping down again!

I assumed it was playing up, as when i bought it in winter was on about 26 then when weather got warmer it was 26.1, 26.2, and stopped on 26.3, was hoping it would carry on going up

 

I will read the manual next time!

 

It will be nice to see it working properly now, as a couple of weeks ago i did a full week driving on £40 then the next week same drive, same driving style and i put about £30 extra.
