We've had our new EHV for about 3 weeks and, of course, we're watching the mpg with fascination. We have a 2001 Prius, so it's fascinating only because it's an SUV, not because it's a hybrid.

My husband and I had a "discussion" the other day about the FE screen - I want to get a sense of the MPG by getting some mileage under our belts; he wants to reset often to get data points of shorter duration. I'm winning so far because it's "my" car and he won't reset it unless I give the okay. We have a little less than 1000 miles on it. I don't intend to *never* reset it, I just want to accrue more mileage first (I'm not sure what that reset mileage marker would be... )

I have two questions really:
1. Does it matter which way we do it?

2. I'd like to enter my Escape into the database here - are people entering gross mileage data or trip-by-trip data? It looks like the latter. I'm willing to do either - just need a little giudance.
Thanks -
