I was messing about with the Eco info screen today. When set to Auto reset mode, the screen said mpg was 67.6. When I pushed manual reset button (just setting the mode, not actually setting it back to zero) the display changed to 45 mpg. Any idea why? Also, is there a "historic" mpg figure available anywhere in the system (ignoring the graphs you can't acurately read!)?

I assume that you are doing a lot of long journeys - primarily on petrol. 45mpg is the sort of figure that you would expect for that pattern of usage - if you are doing primarily short trips, you should be expecting a lot better.

45mpg would be terrific!
My car is a company vehicle and is destined to do 140,000 miles over the 4 year lease.
Where possible I cruise at a Sat Nav regulated 70mph on the motorways, hit Save at around 50% on the meter, charge fully at the office (max twice a week) use the motorway chargers occasionally and I accept that it's an 1800Kg brick - so 35 to 38mpg is more than OK.
When I do drive home from the office (12 miles) with a full charge, my mpg is never less to 800mpg

Anko,
I wish!
If there was a pure EV function, it would be ....., but there isn't and try as I might, I can't stop the engine kicking in for about 500yards over the 12 miles,when I travel up a particularly short but very steep hill.
As an aside, when I first got the car in February, the same trip used around 80% of the charge, according to the meter, here in the summer ( ) it takes around 50%.

That's too bad, but understandable. Makes you wonder: how would your car do on that hill with a PHEV Box installed .... Having the PHEV Box active while towing a caravan makes the car very annoying to drive: every little change in speed requires you to breach the kick down threshold. Fortunately, switching to Normal mode takes care of this.Steel188 said:Anko,

I think the 45mpg figure is the historic average. I've just bought the car - it was first registered in March 2015 and it's done 38000 miles - so I reckon it has spent all its life on a motorway. I, on the other hand, only do 4K or so a year - mostly within ev range - so I'm expecting it to improve. A lot.
In fact, I've reset the manual trip and most of the time I have --:-- mpg - so it looks like it's working out!
