[QUOTE="torch, post: 1449047, member: 1295"] Ooops! Absolutely correct. It should read 1,440,000 pulses. My bad. Still a lot of room for error though. I think the assumption of some sort of running average is supported by the results of my little experiment (average dropped from 5.4 to 5.2 L/100Kms in less than 200Km. Av was manually reset about 4,000Kms prior). The average could be time or distance, but given your observation that the instantaneous update rate is exactly 1Km even when displaying mpg, I suspect it is also based on the metric distance, likely somewhere between 300 and 500 kms. A lot of computing power is being expended on that little display. Both in the initial creation and in the following discussion! <lol>. It brings to mind Douglas Adams' view of digital watches.
