    Hello! I just picked up a prius c 3 in habenero. I love the car! I'm a little confused though. While I'm driving, the display (one that shows the batteries charging) shows 43 mpg for a whole trip (15 miles or so). When I turn off the car the trip summary shows 56mpg. Am I missing something?

    Press (don't hold) the Trip button to make sure you're on ODO, rather than Trip A or Trip B. (Pressing the Trip button cycles through those three). ODO displays the mileage from when you start the car to when you stop it. Trip A and Trip B show the mileage from whenever it was last reset (by holding down the Trip button).

    My guess is that your display is showing either Trip A or Trip B, and so it's calculating an entirely different average. Let us know if my guess isn't right, and we can do some more troubleshooting :)
