Take it in and bring the video. Good Luck

 

depends how long you sit there. hell you can idle a whole tank of gas and not get a single mile out of it. fuel used + no miles being driven = poor fuel economy

 

exactly...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

But the video shows the fuel economy getting better as he sits there......

 

Ummm, no.

The more liters of fuel you use to drive 100kms, the worse your fuel economy is.

 

Yes, I understand how to calculate mpg/kpl and know that gallons/liters consumed is increasing, but doesn't the video of the EVIC shows the opposite?

Watch the video: the AVG is increasing and the DTE is increasing


EDIT: EVIC reports liters per 100km, my bad. I just assumed it was km per liter - much like my EVIC is set to show miles per gallon.

 

Looks right to me, if I sit in traffic my average drops lower and lower the longer I sit.

 

How long has it been since you reset the meter, if it was recently it would drop rather fast since it is averages over a short distance.
