average speed indicator on DIC
What does yours say and how often do you reset it? I just looked and mine says 26.9. Not been on the highway in weeks but this still seems low! I've never reset it, but I'll be checking it more often now!!

Mine says my average speed is below 30mph. I'm guessing the calculator also takes into account time spent idling at a stop light or in a parking lot while the engine is running. I do most of my driving at 55mph +, so this is the only thing I can think of. How often do I reset it? Never, unless I'm going on a long trip.

"Average Speed" has got to be the most worthless thing shown on any driver information device. It averages all the time the engine is running, including idling at stop lights and in parking lots.
If there is any practical usefulness, please enlighten me!

Not necessarily. It could tell you why your mpg is what it is.
I think it's been at least a hundred thousand miles since mine has been reset (or since the last battery change?) I forgot it was even an option to look at.
