This is odd...
My 01 Vert, 6M, 50K miles. Lately I have noticed that when I drive the car after it has been sitting for a week or so, the MPG has reset and odometer comes up on the DIC rather than the page previously set. The HUD is also at the default page. The car has had no loss of power, starts right up. Optima red top less than 2 years old. It also has developed a slight miss under load at lower RPM in 5th and 6th gears, runs great in normal driving. Don't know if they are related or not, but both issues started at the same time. Any ideas?

You are not alone, my ‘98 Vert has done the same thing you described a couple of times in the past few years. I just get a confused look on my face and drive on. Never put any effort in searching for the cause. I’ll follow this thread now.

Could be a battery issue; it should be checked.
More likely would be the grounds. If you haven't disassembled, inspected, cleaned and secured the nine main chassis grounds in the past few years, I'd start there.
