Can I reset the computer MPG indications? I just got the car and the last owner had it down to 16 mpg. I would like to reset it.

select the function you wish to reset and hold down the "return" arrow button on the left of the steering wheel. just like you would on the trip a and trip b odometer.

Must've been hammering on that car for awhile to have the average down that low. Maybe three tanks of gas ago I reset mine, and with mostly city/aggressive short highway bursts mine's still reading 28.4 average MPG.

Also, I believe the "miles to empty" menu gets it's info from the average mpg menu, so just reset it and drive normally for a few tanks, and check out your miles to empty when you go fill up. That'll give you a good idea how far you can realistically go on a full tank.

I drive 280km to work per day. I fill up every 2nd day. And reset my MPG indicator everytime I fillup. I get as low as 27 when i'm aggressive, and 30-31 normally. I could get upwards of 33, maybe a bit more but I tend to do 100-110kph all the way to work and don't wanna go down to 80kph and lose 15 minutes :P
