OK, here's one that's been bothering me in my spare brain cycles. My FEH (and probably most of the other hybrids out there) has an "average fuel economy" display. So how would it calculate mileage if I drove in reverse for a substantial period of time? Would the mileage become negative? Would it use absolute value of distance travelled, without regard for direction, to calculate - so that if I travelled 100 miles in reverse on two gallons, it would show "50 mpg"? Would it simply disregard the miles travelled in reverse? Does anyone know how it actually works, or have any opinion as to how it SHOULD work?

Also, I have never looked, but if you go fast in reverse does the speedometer stay pegged at zero or does it go up to reflect the actual speed at which the car is travelling? (I think I'll try that next time I'm in a big, empty parking lot.)
