MPG will get better as the miles rise, mine took 10Kish to settle down.

If you have the use manual then a good read of the Trip Computer functions tell you how to use the various functions but be aware that the Trip Computer MPG will always show a 5-10% higher mpg than a proper brim to brim manual reading.

Also this time of year you will get a good 10% less mpg because of the cold weather.

Every so often it is a good idea to reset the Trip 1 and 2 readings so you get a full set of up to date figures.

Just wondering if you have inadvertantly changed view from trip1 to trip2 or vice versa because, on such a low mileage car, I think there could be a big difference between the two.

That's what I was thinking.

Or maybe it was always on trip 2 and it reset itself as it does that after a set time.

It's worth either reseting 'trip 2' everytime you fill up or calculating mpg manually.

That way you can keep a track of any sudden changes in economy which could hint at a problem.
