    I'm going to bet you've never reset it.

    In that case, the average is being calculated on such a long distance (since the car was new??), that it wouldn't change very much any more.

    If you reset it each time after you get gas, it will change frequently right afterward, then more slowly as you put on more kms and the normal "spikes" get averaged out.

    You're welcome.

    I checked when I was out earlier this evening: the average gets updated once every 30 seconds.

    It probably never change because you never reset it. I reset it every time I go to fuel. If I skip this step and do a lot of mileage without the reset, then it tend to stay at an average value and does not change much unless my fuel consumption change a lot then it will adjust a little higher or lower.

    To reset it, simply push and hold the button for a few second.
