Default Does your gas mileage per gallon calculator work on your A6?

Mine always goes to 5.0 mpg no matter how many times I reset it. Is there a firmware update or something to fix this? Thanks

Yup. Fluctuates a lot, but it seems to figure out pretty close when I fill up.

Anyone know if it is possible to fix this? I'd like to know approximately how much mpg I get.

It's a bit optimistic, but close enough

Default with VAG COM you can adjust it to be accurate.

I don't recall exactly where to do this within the software, but I'm pretty sure you'll find it by searching the VAG COM forum here or it may even be on the VAG COM website somewhere.

Default Re: Does your gas mileage per gallon calculator work on your A6?

Mine does this as well, I can reset it but it will always drop back down to exactly 5.0MPG. The Average MPG is always 5.0 as well. When I fill up my trip calculator says 135 mi until empty and my average and instantaneous speeds are always incorrect.

Were you ever able to diagnose this problem? I don't think it's as simple as adjusting the percentages, but when measuring one of the engine blocks, the speed reported via ross tech software is spot on in km/hr. If anyone has an ideas, feel free to share, this can get insanely annoying.
