    That would explain a lot. I've done several trips in the past months, each one around 600 miles round trip.

    My lifetime ave reads 62.9 (UK)mpg and my trip B, which has only been reset once at around 100 miles into ownership, reads 62.4.
    Both these are above my real mpg (see my Fuelly sig below) of 58.6 mpg, but are consistent with each other.
    I don't know if you can, but is it possible you may have accidentally reset the lifetime average ?

    I can attest to this. Chicago to Dallas pulled me down to about 50 MPG, and it took 4-5 months to get back up to 65 MPG lifetime.
