LOL, this is exactly what happened to me, the service tech reset my TripA. Since I was almost done with the tank, I was ticked! Luckily, since I've recorded every single tank in my spreadsheet, I was able to use the total odometer mileage from the car and subtract out all my prevoius miles. And now when I fill up, not only do I record the TripA mileage, but I also record the total odo just in case.
