On the trip computer, when i fill up with some go go juice, i reset everything. trip, avg L/100klms, Avg km/h.
When i reset the Avg L/100klms, the number it is reading sky rockets up to about 60-70L/100klms. and slowly and i mean slowly (about 10 mins) it returns to about normal of about 12-13L/100klms. Does everyones do this, or is there something worng? I have reset it also when i have not just filled up, and the same result. except it is worse. i have driven it for about 2 days now and it is still coming down, currently on 19L/100klms. and only goes down by about 0.2-0.3 over about 12klms. so i dont know what is going on. the Instant L/100klms seems about right, but it is just the average that has got me baffled. cheers Ben

it takes 100km for the average to give u a more accurate reading. because after all it is how many litres every 100kms. so give it a bit more kms and then it should be alrite.

The first average is taken from the instant when it's reset.
So reset it at the servo, and drive out. the instant will be very high (as you're accelerating), and bam the average is instantly very high. Normal driving will work this back down to normal. Everyone's does this. eg. say you rest the avergae, then leave the server Time / Inst / Avg 0 sec / 0 / 0 1 sec / 99 / 99 2 sec / 99 / 99 3 sec / 50 / 76 4 sec / 50 / 63 (finished accelerating) 5 sec / 10 / 30 6 sec / 10 / 20 7 sec / 10 / 15 8 sec / 10 / 12 9 sec / 10 / 11 10 sec / 10 / 10.5 Notice how the average will go up quickly, but down slowly - it's the way statistics work. *note numbers are wild guestimates used to show the idea.

yeah data, thats how i thought it would work, but i have done about 30 klms or so, and it is still high!
it normally settles with a bit of time. but yeah, this one is still high, and cant figure out why.

is your instant reading what it normally would for the driving you're doing. Maybe you ARE using more fuel. (for whatever reason).

Alright, so i tested it again today when i filled up.
kicked over the car, waited 10 seconds or so, reset all the settings. put her in drive, not throttle, and she went straight up to 80L/100klms as soon as i started moving. It took 7klms to get it back down to 16L/100klms which is close enough to where i was before. It wasnt as bad as last time, but it still baffles me why it does it. No throttle and it still reads a huge amount, although it does go down, it just doesnt make sense. Has anyone had a look to see if thiers does it aswell. and if noone has, is it possible for u to have a look next time u reset it all. Cheers Ben

when the car is running and youre not moving the instant l/100km is infinite and will read 99. try resetting it after you have left the servo while you are just cruising. you will find it reads what you are expecting.

That's how they work. More importantly, that's how the math works.
Older trip comps (those in EA-EDs) actually read an instant of 99.9 when you were stationary, technically that's not right, although neither is 0.0. But they can't show ∞ (wonder if that'll work - it's the infinity sign). And because of the way averages work, after a reset the values are very easy to alter drastically, and harder to alter as the average 'ages'.

like data mine said, EA-ED reads 99.9 when you're stopped and i dont know if EF-EL do that or if they show something different like litres/min (injection rate) but try resetting your trip while you are cruising so the first reading it gets is 5-10 instead of your stationary 80...

yeh. its whack after you reset it.
you can reset it, roll out of the petrol station get it to 16 or so within a km then take it to the redline and watch it go towards 100 
mine seems bit whack atm. done 200km since reset, all city driving, trip comp shows av of 17.3 however my average when driving 100km of freeway and 200 of city is usually 16.4. however my DTE is still very close to what i nomrally get with freeway driving.. yes i get crap economy

I have tried reseting it while moving, doing about 60 km/h or so with stuff all throttle, stillthe same. Sky rockets all the way to 80 then gradually comes down.
sorry should have said that before.

.....how many kms do u get out of a tank? im sure u dont get less then 100km out of a full tank of petrol. so im sure ur fine. but if u get about 350kms out of a tank ur probably close to 20L/100km......should be fine i think.
