Consumption Screen

m2mazda6 · 08-02-2008, 03:26 PM

On the consumption screen on average MPG is that just for the last 30 min. or is it for the miles you go before you reset, I'm talking about the bottom of screen where it gives the MPG and miles driven, not the bars that go up and down
Thanks

it is the total average (if that makes sense) since the last time you reset it

FYI the screen with the 6 5 minutes bars is commonly referred to as the "consumption screen" and the one with the picture of the energy flow is called "energy screen". On the energy screen the MPG and total mileage reading is from the last reset.

The Fuel consumption average on the consumption screen is since the last reset?

Does it reset when you fill up?

Not in the U.S. on a 2007 or 2008. I think it does on some of the older models. I'm not sure about Canada.

My 2008 resets every time its filled. (US model)

The miles driven, or the MPG? I was certain that I heard that the 2008 did not reset the MPG, only the miles driven.

I know for a fact that both the 2007 and 2008 only resets the miles when filled up and not the average. The average is from the last time the reset button was pressed and will not reset until the the reset button is pushed regardless if you fill up and the miles reset.

That's what I had thought (and said), but Chris58 seemed to indicate differently. Can you say with certainty that it isn't different on Prius sold in Canada?

Both miles and MPG read 0 on the screen as I was about to pull away from the gas pump last night after my first fillup. (Why am I filling up so soon? My dealer cheated me, car only had 3 pips worth of gas in it when it left the lot.)
