Just went and read the miles on car since I went to work and back home. It is now reading 135.4, so I drove 12.9 miles today back and forth. The instant FE Gauge has not acted funny when it passed the 126 mile reading so maybe I am okey on the Instant reading thing. MPG is now at 52.3 so i dropped from 54.9 this morning to 52.3 now. I will be real interested to see what it does on a daily basis in FE, since i drive so few miles each day and in traffic.

The 63 mile reset problem is not seen in the FE instant readout. It is seen in the Trip A and Trip B average MPG readout.
You gave some numbers that give me cause for suspicion. Your MPG over 122.5 miles yesterday was 54.9. Your MPG after driving 135.4 is 52.3. From this I calculate that the MPG for today, when you drove 12.9 miles, was 36.1. Do you feel that's realistic? If not, the reason the MPG suddenly seems so low is that you have the MPG reset problem.
It would have been very hard to detect on a long trip where you consistently drove the same way the whole time. Keep wathcing it.
