    I have read the owners manual a couple of times and I still don't get the vertical bars on the 5 min. and 30 min. consumption display.
    I guess it is the 25,50,75,and 100 increments on the right that throw me off. Does the higher bar mean more or less fuel consumption?
    And while I am at it, is it a good sign to have more little cars show up on the dispay?
    Thanks

    Higher bar means you were getting higher MPG. Like half way up is 50MPG, 3/4 way up is 75MPG over the past 1min or 5min interval.

    The car's IMO just pay no mind to IMO. On the amin consumption screen a car means 30Wh produced and on the 5min screen it means 50Wh produced.
