Hi folks, I'm wondering - does anyone know how the Prius estimates the MPG that appears in real-time on the display? I can't imagine that it would literally divide the distance driven by the fuel flowing to the ICE during the ~ 1 second update time - seems like you'd get a large error dividing two small numbers. Thanks!

That probably gives a lower limit on the update period or the quantization in distance or volume would be too great. The five minute bars use information obtained over a longer period so the quantization error will be smaller. kevin
vehicle speed and distance injector duration and frequency *assumes* nominal fuel pressure behind it . _H*
