Default My Litres per 100km is screwed up

Hey guys,

You know the reading on the dash showing Litres per 100km, mines screwed up and wondering if u guys know how to reset it or fix it...

When u press the reset button it works ok...showing about 12Litres per 100km and showing average speed of say 60km. But if i drive maybe around 200km without resetting it, it should more or less be about that but it show like 4.4 litres, with average speed of 20-30km which isnt right at all. It just keeps going down.

Please help!

Thanks.

average speed goes down from stop and go traffic. My average speed was 200km/h when i was constantly going 200 and reset the average speed.

as for mileage.. i'm not sure how it reads 4.4L per 100km since it eats more fuel when you're going that fast. I've never even seen that low before... lowest I got was 8L/100km

Does your gas gauge read full when filling up?

I found mine to be incredibly inaccurate due to improper gas gauge sensor (which the dealership replaced twice and the problem still consists.
