Default Re: MPG Loss When Startup

It may just be that when you restart, your trip MPG has updated. The reading you have when you shutdown isn't up to date, as the mileage in Hondas seems to refresh every couple minutes as opposed to several second intervals in the Prius. I know that in the Insight you can press the "FCD" button to manually update your mileage. You may be able to get an instant update by hitting the trip button to cycle through your displays until you get back to the one you started at. If you do that when you shutdown, then the mileage should match what it reads when you start up again.
