You have to aware of what you are looking at on avg. readout. It is resetable(press&hold), so if you have never reset it, will give you an average since whenever. Some folks reset the avg at the beginning of each tank.

The avg. value is often optimistic vs. the hand calculation.
This car appears to experience a very wide range of fuel consumption performance. I have experienced as high as 25 mpusg (short trip/city/winter) and as low as 46 mpusg (long trip/hwy/summer).
