[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1448964, member: 19880"] I found the "instantaneous" (update every few seconds) only useful to see what riding habits (and conditions) are hardest on fuel. Not a surprise, but heavy acceleration, hill climbing, excess speed and headwinds make a big difference. Instructional rather than practical. I usually reset the "average consumption gauge" when I fill to help estimate (along with trip odometer) how long I might expect to go before I need to fill again. It can be set in km/L which I find more intuitive for computations on the fly as compared with the L/100 km. The "average consumption" varies a lot after it is first reset (updating every kilometer) but steadies down after a time. Average since last reset, but only to a point - oldest data is removed from the computation after a time, but includes at least the last several hundred kilometers. I have found that the computed average km/L gauge to be in very good agreement with the actual calculated when I refill. Note: US bikes have instantaneous and average mpg but no mode equivalent to L/100 km [/QUOTE]
