I agree. You can sorta do it right now if you get skilled at working the menu clicks. But maybe you have noticed that the first mile or mile and a half there is no average MPG calculation, just an instant reading while it gathers initial data. So you want your short ditances to be at least say 2 miles.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
