left+middle(hold) = reset tank
right+middle(hold) = reset current
up+middle = toggle menu
down+middle = dont know yet.

And for up/down/left/right, the screens could be a big table that you can browse.
And while switching pages screen, below it, would be a "map" indicating where you would be on the table. Like on the picture on attachment.

But some localization suggestions:
The kilometer per hour "kph" would be much more comfortable to new users if it was "k/h", same style like "l/100".
BIG tank/current/instant: L/K should be l/100km in small chars. Or if there is no more special chars available, "L100" is good. People think in their minds "litres and hundred", and figure it out right away.

Hoping it helps
