    On my Gen 2, each time I filled up, I would reset the average MPG figure in the Consumption screen, so that I could see a per-tank average.

    I don't see a similar option in my 2012; is there a way that I can see what I'm averaging with each tank of gas?

    I keep Trip A for fill-up to fill-up measurement and use Trip B for actual trips to be measured separately. You reset the Trip by holding down the trip button for a few seconds when the trip to be reset is selected.

    Seriously? Thanks... strange that Toyota did it this way. Never even considered that they'd combine this with the trip meter.

    That wasn't obvious to me either. I had to look it up in the instructions. Great car with a significant learning curve. Its sort of like learning a new computer operating system :)

    It's a learning curve for me, too, and 1) I had a 2nd gen Prius, and 2) I'm not normally one to need to RTFM.

    Its could be Linux which is used for many real time control systems.
