how fuel consumption can be influenced, see
Environmental philosophy (p. 22).
Instantaneous
The information for current fuel consumption is
updated continuously - approximately once per
second. When the car is driven at low speed the
consumption is shown per time unit - at a higher
speed it is shown related to mileage.

If the main instrument is graduated in mph, the
equivalent digital speed is shown as km/h.
Different units (km/miles) can be selected for the

An economic driving style generally results in a
longer driving distance. For more information on

The average speed is calculated for the driving
distance driven since the last reset to zero.
