    I just bought the 2010; I had the 2006. On the 2006, it was clear on my dash that I was getting 47.5 miles per gallon. I had the option of resetting this button each time I filled with gas (I did not). How do I see the SAME information on the new dash? Am I an idiot? Thank you.

    Use the "Trip" button on the steering wheel. If you press and hold the trip button, it will reset.

    The MPG is listed as CONS at the bottom of the HSI and Consumption menu screens, about midway. You have a Trip A and a Trip B that is selectable by the TRIP button on the steering wheel. As stated above, if you hold the TRIP button down, it resets the TRIP data that is currently being displayed.

    You have to reset a Trip meter to get it to display the MPG I believe. Press the Trip button on your steering wheel to change to Trip B, then press and HOLD the button to reset Trip B. From then it should display your MPG...it'll say something like 51.0 CONS not MPG...that "CONS" stands for "Consumption". You can then switch between different displays with the DISP button. If you get to the 5 minute bar display you can change that to a 1 minute display by holding down the DISP button I believe.
