Default Anyone ever seen this ?





Sorry for shitty quality. On my way home from work i noticed that my miles left in my tank display which i use when i drive didnt change or anything, like it normally does. Well i proceeded to hold the info button to reset it thinking it might have been a bug or glitch. Well when i saw my MPG's it displayed 35.8 And by the time i got off the freeway and took those pics i was at 33.7. Well my concern is if something is wrong with my car. I was doing about 60 to 70 on the highway. Also wondering if anyone else has seen this. Since on my RA i usually get between 23 to 25 MPG's on the Display.

i usually drive it like a grandma, since i get stuck in traffic often. i have a 2012 RA and ive never seen or heard of this much MPG displayed on the gauge. Searched around and found nothing. I just found it weird. Im going to try and replicate it if possible.

Sorry, my last post was referring to the Eco light. The best I've managed is 7.9L/100km (29.77 MPG) and that was by resetting while on a flat highway doing 100-105 km/h (62-65 MPH)

That's a new feature in 2012 model

"- Ralliart sedan adds new 18-inch alloy wheel design and Eco mode indicator"

it's only an indicator when you're achieving high MPG

If you're driving, take your foot off the gas and reset the MPG's, it will calculate how much you'd be getting at that point. For instance, if you're going 60 mph and reset it, it will calculate a high MPG.



As for the Eco showing, it's economy driving. If you drive like a grandma, and never hit boost, it will help your MPG's.
