Dodgy Knees Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Mine don't work. It always shows 61.3 or 61.4 mpg. That would mean I could do 240 odd miles to a tank. No matter how i ride always the same. MY 19 tracer coming up 3k miles. 18 Litre tank which in UK is 4 gallon. Any ideas.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted May 30, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted May 30, 2020 Even after you reset it to zero it still only shows 61mpg? Is that reading for average or current mpg? ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgy Knees Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Average... Always reset trip 2 on fuel fill. It always says I'm getting 61mpg whatever I'm doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would at least call the dealer and talk to the service manager. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgy Knees Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 In the menu there's a 'reset all' I think. I'll try that, i never use it. I just reset trip 1 on my days ride and trip 2 on fuel. I'll have another look. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgy Knees Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 No, never reset it. Will look.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgy Knees Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Well, just reset it. Didn't realise that was a thing. 🤪 Thanks Betoney, see how it goes next ride.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted May 30, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted May 30, 2020 This raised my curiosity, since I have never paid any attention to the the fuel mileage readout. It’s not in the configuration of the primary menu on my ‘15 FJ (Trip 1, Trip 2, Odometer), so I’ve never even thought about it... and absolutely have never reset it. The answer to a question I never had asked: 42.5 mpg average over 18k miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When ever I fill the tank, I reset Trip 1 and Fuel AVG. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to a question I never had asked: 42.5 mpg average over 18k miles Probably not an issue on shorter rides close to home, I do a lot of longer out of state rides and fuel range is something I always have my eye on. Depending on how easy or aggressive I am riding, I can gauge (relatively) how far I can go before hitting reserve by the fuel average. From experience, mine has always been about 3 mpg optimistic, so if it reads 48mpg average, I know it is actually about 45mpg, x4 gallons = 180 miles safely without accounting for reserve. I don't listen to music so I run numbers through my head...🙄 It could also be my nature to always push buttons and see read-outs. I am constantly switching between the 3 menu screens checking Fuel, trip distance and temperature readings. 🤷♀️ 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the method I use: I reset Trip 2 when leaving the garage, and Trip 1 whenever I fill the tank. I personally prefer keeping the total odometer mileage in the last slot of the primary menu, because, well... I have no idea why. I just do. I guess I’m a “set it and forget it” person. I’ve been known to occasionally scroll through the menus looking for air temperature (quantitative verification of the “f@$k it’s hot” impression), but otherwise I don’t mess with it. Your approach of using current tank fuel mileage to estimate available range makes perfect sense, however, and engineering me is embarrassed that I hadn’t thought of that previously... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgy Knees Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 I'm out Monday or Tuesday. Gonna study my avg fuel con display. In reality I don't care less what it does as long as it's running proper. 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
