The 0 1 2 0 refers to which computer.  I can't remember which way round it is but one of them refers to the average of the car since reset and the other is of that journey.  I think it is

0 - reset main average

1 - main average

2 - journey average

0 - reset journey average.

Almost.


1 is trip details since switching ignition on (resets after an hour of ignition being off)

2 is for details since last reset (resets itself when it gets to 9999 miles I think)

first 0 is for resetting the details since ignition, and second 0 is for resetting the details since last reset.

Same here! Mine dropped to an average of about 16mpg earlier when driving 'enthusiastically' with the clio mentioned in the other thread :shocked:
