Has any body come across this?
Yes. I did. You need to go into settings and tell the guage that your car has DFCO. It does not assume the vehicle has it and cannot seem to detect it itself in some cars (maybe all cars). The manual explains how to make the change to settings.

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.
