Nope, you need to press & hold the end of the wiper stalk for a few seconds to reset it.

#12: Re: how high can u get yours? Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Mon May 09, 2011 8:37 am ---- I have a multiline display but don't have the right COM2000 unit to use the mpg function
#13: Re: how high can u get yours? Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon May 09, 2011 8:40 am ---- If its not been used for a couple of days, can shoot a good couple of feet above a head
In all seriousness, slow down in gear and it'll be a good reading
#14: Re: how high can u get yours? Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Mon May 09, 2011 8:44 am ---- yeah i was not stopping at all if traffic built up id slow down enough for me not to have to stop and slow down hardly using the breaks
EDIT: tired n cant spell! brakes!

#18: Re: how high can u get yours? Author: Slowmotion, Location: Earth.Posted: Tue May 10, 2011 1:22 pm ---- It wasn't clear that it had to be on the average mpg on the mfd
#19: Re: how high can u get yours? Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Tue May 10, 2011 1:36 pm ---- it is by the symbol next to his mpg figure
#20: Re: how high can u get yours? Author: Lewis, Location: Isle Of WightPosted: Thu May 12, 2011 2:13 am ---- I reset mine the other day when i saw this thred... its averaged out now and even careful driving in my 180 i can only get about 35mpg hah... SMILES PER GALLON as Ape saysss
#21: Re: how high can u get yours? Author: MrMorris, Location: Over that hill.Posted: Thu May 12, 2011 2:22 am ---- But its easy to cheat with this MPG reader.
Get to a high ish speed, then just do nothing, use no pedals at all, but keep the car in gear. This will result in 999.9 MPG and will boost your Average MPG reading up miles.
I had a 2.0 16v Williams engined megane coupe. Average MPG in book was 33. I could get 32 easily. But with this 'cheating' I got over 80mpg on a drive from Telford to Barmouth.

you would need to coast for a long while before the 999.9 would make a effect, trust me.
#23: Re: how high can u get yours? Author: Lewis, Location: Isle Of WightPosted: Thu May 12, 2011 2:43 am ---- it wouldnt boost the average if you let it settle.. do a big trip through towns and motorways and the average will settle on the true MPG average even if you did do a bit of coasting.
#24: Re: how high can u get yours? Author: MrMorris, Location: Over that hill.Posted: Thu May 12, 2011 2:46 am ---- No on a recently reset AVG MPG reader. I done it so many times in my Megane and my old 03' 206 1.6 QuickSilver.
My AVG in my 206 was about 70 most of the time. (obviously that wasn't correct)
Once you take ya foot off the pedal and leave it in gear, takes about 5-6 seconds to register at 999.9 on the CURRENT MPG reader. Reset your AVG MPG when doing the 999.9, so your AVG is 999, then itll take ages to get back down if you continue to drive like a saint
#25: Re: how high can u get yours? Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Thu May 12, 2011 3:42 am ---- pics? lol
#26: Re: how high can u get yours? Author: Lewis, Location: Isle Of WightPosted: Thu May 12, 2011 3:48 am ---- your supposed to reset it from a stand still hahaha thats cheating reseting it at 999! Good cheat for this little comp with Dan though!
#27: Re: how high can u get yours? Author: MrMorris, Location: Over that hill.Posted: Thu May 12, 2011 4:00 am ---- told ya it works, try it. i used to did it all the time so i know 100% it works

Damn right! On the motorway at 70 I get 30mpg, at 77-80 I get 36mpg so sit at that usually. Usually the average mpg is about 15 now take it steady and all that!
On track is 5.5mpg
