Ditto the dash display -- I thought that one reset when the nav resets (perhaps I'll double-check when I fillup today, but I'm pretty sure that the two are tied together on my HH)

anyways, congrats on all that...
I should have said the lifetime fuel economy I calculated from the display fuel economy. At each fillup, I also add the display fuel economy in my spreadsheet. I take the miles driven on the tank (from the odometer without calibrating) and divide by the display fuel economy to get what I call "display gallons". The total miles driven as recorded directly from the odometer divided by the total display gallons is what I refer to as the lifetime display fuel economy.
