    Does anyone know what that means when you power off and the display shows fuel consumption & savings & an amount? Does it mean dollars & cents saved on that particular trip? I got like 9996.

    By the way I had put in the price for a gallon of gas on the display under fuel prices when I filled her up for the first time. It only cost $33.50.:) Lots better than my Acura = $60 a fill up.
    So I'm wondering about the "savings" on the display. Thanks for your imput. Pat

    It sounds like you input the $33.50 rather than the price per gallon. If you (1) put in the price per gallon and (2) niter the comparative mpg from maybe your previous or other car, the readout will be the savings sine the last time you started the car compared to what it would have been in the other car.
