Trip meter set up

[twosout]

I think the electric consumption will vary significantly through the year, being the worst in winter. My car’s display suggests about 2miles/kWh at the moment (it varies). I agree that stated mpg figures ignore the electric contribution, making them completely meaningless.
If I assume 2miles/kWh from the electricity consumed, my MY19 car has averaged about 31mpg so far. A far cry from the misleading figures which are advertised for this model.

Misleading - yes, but not by nefarious marketing intentions. These figures are standardized and legally binding. The idea behind this is to make cars comparable across brands. It does not work out very informative for plug-in hybrids, though.

Are the miles imperial or US miles?

AFAIK they're identical at 1760 yards. The US pint is 16 floz, whereas the UK one is 20 floz; so the US gallon is almost 20% smaller (or the UK gallon is 25% bigger)

I agree, but producing a 'combined' mpg requires you to know the cost of fuel as well as electricity. I do this using a simple spreadsheet, but despite the constantly-changing prices (of both), a very reasonable rule of thumb is that running on petrol costs is around 3x more expensive than electricity (in the UK - the factor is highly dependent on taxation, and then, of course, some people get their leccy for 'free').

Hi guys
I've read the manual a few times and related posts on here, Now maybe I'm stupid or something but its just not sinking in. On my previous car I had two sets of trip meter data lets call them setting 1 and setting 2. Both Giving total miles traveled, average speed, distance traveled, and mpg since either was last reset manually.

Setting 1) I left totally untouched to give me all that information for the life of the car since I had owned it as I never reset this From the day i owned it

Setting 2 ) I would reset every time i filled up the tank so I would have all that usage information for the current tank fill up.

Is there any way to achieve the same thing with the My16 outlander as I can see it has 2 settings but both seem to reset and go back to zero every time i switch off the car.
Any help or advice on the above would be much appreciated please as I'm sure its down to me just not understanding how to use this outlander system correctly. :roll:
Hope this all makes sense to you
Thanks in advance

I have Mitsubishi endeavor phev 2018. I was trying to find out how to set up a trip meter and YouTube showed me 1000ds movies but none answered and showed my question how to do it. The Internet already sucks for years with its search engine when you type one word and it shows you a million different not even close to your question. So, I was not able to find it on the web. Sorry, I am lazy to look for it myself....

Well...

On my model, there is a button in the bank next to the steering wheel, that is marked with overlapping rectangles. Mitsubishi call that button the 'multi information display' button.

When the car is turned off, pressing that button displays (each press takes you to the next page):
1. Trip Meter A
2. Trip Meter B
3. Eco Score Display
4. Predicted charging time
5. Service due reminder
6. Redisplay of the last warning (if there is one to display).

If you want to clear the trip meter, page to that display and then hold down the multi information display button.

The intention of the two values is that 'A' is for recording a whole journey, and 'B' is for some sub-set of the journey.

Both will continue counting, until the next time they are reset.

They must be cleared/reset individually.

Are the miles imperial or US miles?
I wouldn't trust the accuracy, anyway, but use it a a guide for comparison.

There are too many variables to determine mpg (or m/kWh) without making assumptions. You can measure the total distance travelled and the number of kWh and gallons added during that time, but will not know what contribution each fuel has made to the distance covered.
You can sum the cost of electricity and fuel consumed, then divide that by the miles covered to determine the cost per mile. Everyone’s result will depend on the prices they’re paying and driving pattern. I’m looking at about 14.2p/mile at the moment.

Miles are the same in US and UK, but gallons are not.
To find out which gallons are used, just switch to metric units (l/100km), do your own conversion to mpg, and then compare to what the car shows for mpg.
After a long road trip with my '23 Outlander PHEV I compared the actual fuel consumption against what the car showed, and it was pretty accurate (surprisingly!). I had a Ford Focus once, and the car always showed ~5% better mileage than actual.

Maybe some day we can all agree to use metric? This current system is soooo stupid.

Amen to that!
