#43 of 47 ANY QUEBEC OWNERS by bobquebec Oct 18, 2009 (4:55 am)
Hi from Laval,Quebec Please let me know your general impressions on your cars. If you like the car, are you glad you purchased the car...etc.. Can you suggest a good dealer, where you purchased your car. I would like to purchase the car in 2010.   Thanks for your help Best Regards Robert
#44 of 47 computer reading for CURRENT AVERAGE MPG by myspringer Oct 20, 2009 (3:32 pm)
I just bought a new 2009 Venza AWD V6 with Touring package 10 days ago. The computer reading for the current average MPG jumps all over the place 6 mpg 25, 42 90 etc. all within a couple of miles There is not problem with the computer showing average MPG.   I went back to the dealer and took out one from the lot and it does the same thing. My car was built Sept 24/09. Knowing this problem, Toyota should of have this fixed by now!!!! Anyone else having this problem. Replies to this message: islandvan (Oct 21, 2009 3:56 pm)

I do not believe this is a defect. The current average mpg you refer to is essentially an instanteous reading extrapolating mpg to provide current fuel consumption. This will vary widely based on whether you are accelerating hard or coasting or somewhere in between. The primary use of this feature is to enable the driver to monitor current fuel consumption and modify driving habits to improve fuel economy. If you want to see the display of average mpg over a period of time this can also be selected on the multi-information display as you noted. Replies to this message: myspringer (Oct 21, 2009 5:00 pm)

Replying to: myspringer (Oct 20, 2009 3:32 pm) i know this is obvious but make sure you are on average mpg and not instant mpg. on instant it jumps all over for me as well depending on how i accelerate.   if you are on average i would ask the dealer to inspect it.   good luck

Replying to: michiganmike1 (Oct 21, 2009 4:13 am) Yes, but it should not bounce all over the place if I am on a flat road travelling 30 mph. It goes from 5 mpg 26 18 39 54 85 all within a mile distance on a flat road and AT THE SAME SPEED.   THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN SOME OF THE HIGHLANDERS.   tHANKS,   bOB
