    New to this forum and new Prius-C owner.
    Just discovering all the display options and came across this on the Eco Savings screen:
    When on the ODO screen, miles shows as 99 and MPG is 82.0 (!)
    I haven't reset either Trip A or Trip B, so they are almost the same mileage (looks like trip read-out includes a decimal, where ODO does not), at 99.1 and 99.3. But both Trip displays have MPG at 40-something. Am I missing something? Of course I'm hoping it's the Odometer one that's correct, but shouldn't they all be the same, or at least close? Thanks in advance for replies.

    The ODO screen(s) is/are a strange one until you get to understand it.
    The miles is as you would expect (Total miles on the car).
    BUT the MPG is since started. By this is meant since you just started the car IE this trip, so the MPG refers not to overall MPG but your MPG since you just turned the key on. After a while you will get to appreciate this as it tell you what is currently happening with each trip without resetting anything. This "Since started ODO" will also be active in other screens hence showing you instantly what it cost you to drive to Wal-Mart, etc.

    I hope this helps.
