English
The gauge shows the fuel usage that the vehicle is currently achieving in MPG and in liters per 100 kilometers (l/100 km).
MIN/20: Is when the least efficient fuel economy usually occurs during acceleration or when idling.
MAX/l/100 km: Is when the best fuel economy is being achieved.
This gauge moves often as it is an instantaneous calculation based on current driving conditions.
