#170 of 174 Mileage gauge not working? by sylviecat May 11, 2009 (10:39 am)
Has anyone had this issue, and do you know a fix? I just hit 10,000 on my 2009 Forester, and my miles per gallon thingy (i'm sorry,, I can't remeber its official name) now reads -----. I looked in the manual, and thought perhaps I'd somehow managed to turn it off, but tried to follow the directions for turning it back on, and then really DID turn it off. Just empty space there. Turned it back on, and now have just dashes where the mileage used to appear. Would love some help. Will also post on the general 2009 Forester htread. Thanks very much, Sylviecat Replies to this message: ateixeira (May 11, 2009 11:04 am) sylviecat (May 11, 2009 11:44 am) ateixeira (May 11, 2009 12:48 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: sylviecat (May 11, 2009 10:39 am) FWIW it takes one driven mile before it displays anything.   So if you reset it you may see the dashes until you drive 1 mile. Replies to this message: sylviecat (May 11, 2009 11:44 am) ateixeira (May 11, 2009 12:48 pm) occking (May 13, 2009 4:45 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (May 11, 2009 11:04 am) Thanks!   Does it reset itself at 10,000 miles? Or did I (or my sister who drive it Sunday) hit something inadvertantly? Replies to this message: ateixeira (May 11, 2009 12:48 pm) occking (May 13, 2009 4:45 pm)

Replying to: sylviecat (May 11, 2009 11:44 am) It works with each Trip Odometer. Replies to this message: occking (May 13, 2009 4:45 pm)
#174 of 174 5000 miles by occking May 13, 2009 (4:45 pm)
Replying to: ateixeira (May 11, 2009 12:48 pm) Took two months to accomplish this. Actual MPG, 4890 miles divided by 197 gallons = 24.8 mpg. The trip computer has not been set since I got the vehicle & that is "hovering" between 25.5 and 25.8.   I had a 2006 Tribeca and, if I recall (if you have Nav) after 10,000 miles it stops recording the time used, but, it continues to show avg mpg. What I do is leave one trip odometer alone and will not reset it until I get to approx 10,000 miles. The other one I reset every time I fill up.   I have been able to record as high as 28.5 on the trip computer, actual best mpg for one tankful 27.9. It does seem to be getting better as I put on more miles, but could also be no longer using winter fuel.
