MPG DISPLAY

[FATFIL]

CAN SOME ONE EXPLAIN WHY MPG DISPLAY DOES NOT ALWAYS SHOW YOUR MPG, I TRAVEL 22 MILE ON MY COMMUTE TO WORK, THE DISPLAY SHOWS BETWEEN 65 AND 95 MPG DEPENDING ON THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE (GX3) WITH AVERAGE ELECTRIC USE OF 75% BUT SOME DAYS THE MPG JUST SHOWS -- - NOT GIVING ANY FIGURE. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A REASON FOR THIS.

It cannot display more than 99.9mpg - once you get above the 100, it shows __._

This is probably sloppy programming - most of the world thinks in litres per 100km - in other words small numbers are good - it works fine if you select this as the units.

I wonder if it's to do with the accuracy of their measurements. A high fuel usage, a small error in the amount of fuel measured doesn't make a big difference to the measured MPG, but when you're barely using any fuel, this difference will be quite significant.

Must be a bug in the latest firmware, I clearly remember my demonstrator displaying 127mpg, as this being a PHEV it was one of the main things i looked at and commented on last July, When I took delivery in November however, mine too, --.- mpg over 99.9mpg. annoying !
