Pic of Turtle and Black Widow from my crappy Iphone last night. My son was over and I snapped a quick pic to show Black Widow as it sits now.
Minus the giant grill block and the wheel skirts, and with the new 13" rims it actually looks pretty nice. He's still pulling almost 50 mpg as it sits, and he's getting ready to drop a (much needed) new clutch in it.

LOL, next to the Lupo the Insight looks rather large.

So I reset my lifetime mpg a couple of weeks ago, and now I just realized it doesn't show at all.
When I hit the fcd button and switch over to where it shows the total miles, it no longer reads out the lifetime mpg. Does anybody know how to make it show again?

Is anybody having much luck with the Torque app? My app is giving weird mpg readings on both the Lupo & the Insight

I think you deactivated the FCD with the FCD button. You have to hold it for a long time so it reactivate the displays. HTH

Odometer / Trip Meter / Fuel Efficiency Meter

In the center of the instrument display, below the digital speedometer display, is the combination odometer / fuel economy meter.

At the left side of this display, average fuel economy is shown. This average is updated once per minute. To the right of this average, is the odometer / trip distance display. The driver can select the lifetime odometer for the vehicle, or switch between three resettable trip meters: "Trip A", "Trip B" or "segment". The average mileage display always shows the average for the distance that is selected. That is, if trip meter A is selected, the average mileage is shown for that trip. "Segment" mode is toggled on and off by touching the FCD button. The current segment is reset by pressing and holding the FCD button while in "Segment" mode. The normal mode display can be switched between the odometer and the two trip meters by pressing the Trip button.

At the lower portion of the display, a bar graph shows the instantaneous fuel economy, which changes in real time based on the amount of fuel that the fuel injectors are currently delivering, and based on the current speed.

When the speedometer is set to mph, odometer / trip meter distances are displayed in miles, and fuel efficiency is displayed in miles per gallon. When the speedometer is set to km/h, odometer / trip meter distances are displayed in kilometers, and fuel efficiency is displayed in liters per 100km.

Both the instantaneous bar graph and the average fuel efficiency number can be turned off at the driver's discretion. To turn off the bar graph, press and hold the FCD button until the bar & legend disappear. To also turn off the numerical average, press and hold the FCD button again, until that disappears.

Cool, thanks!

I'll try it tonight when I leave work.

So now I killed it altogether . . .

I held down the FCD button for a while and it reset. But it appears that it reset not only lifetime mpg, but also the total miles. Where it should show me about 208,000 miles, it reverted back to 0000

Is there any way to fix this? I don't want to just keep pushing buttons and make it worse. Unfortunately I was halfway through this tank so now I have no way of knowing how many miles are on the tank.

In another possibly unrelated incident, right after I reset it I noticed a CEL for the first time since I have owned the car

[Ecky]

I had no idea you could do that. Best to take this to Insight Central.

[cowmeat]

Yeah, me neither. I was just pressing buttons like a monkey and here I am.

On the bright side, I now have 89 mpg lifetime average, although it's only for about 26 miles . . . .
