:scare: mines at 25.9-26 all the time without too much spirited driving, am i doing something wrong ? :blink:

 

also my MPG guage dosnt seem to react very quickly is this normal?

The MPG gauge is cummulative. It will barely shift until you reset it. Then it goes nuts for a while. Then is settles down again.

 

26 mpg is pretty good for a Zed especially if you ever take it into traffic. MPG is better on track than in traffic!

do you reset it using the little button you press and hold to reset the trip computer?

You push the button that doesn't change the mpg to what ever is next...... I think it's the botton of the two on the left of the dash pod.

I would not trust the mpg meter on the car for the first 5/10 miles. Before that it can be quite eratic and well out. Once you have covered a few miles it starts to settle down and average out. unfortunately the Z just is not capable of giving a semi-real time read-out of your mpg like many other cars can do.
