If yours has a display button, you need to hold it down for a few seconds on the display you want ot reset.

IS uses a "Disp" or "Display" button.

You've never heard of BP????? They're responsible for one of the worst man-made disasters in all the land.

Yes, I know BP - the oil company. BP - the gas station? Nope! That is what I was trying to say.

Original poster. Filled up with Shell 93 octane. 200 mile trip, 27.1 average. Very happy with that.

To reset the fuel mileage indicator, just hold down the display button when the mpg is being shown and it will reset to 0 and start all over for the mpg reading. You can change this anytime you want. Does not have to be done on just refueling. This is for the GS model. Mine is a 2010.
