Consumption screen error???

That sounds completely normal.

For the first question, the consumption screen. the indications on the bottom (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30) indicate number of minutes previously. so as you drive, the first 5 minute bar you get will progressively "shift" to the left as new 5 minute bars are generated. So 15 minutes into the drive, the first 5 minutes will be the farthest to the left, followed by the second 5 minutes and then the last 5 mintues. so you could think of the axis labels as indicating "xx minutes ago". (If i happened to missunderstand your post and it's not working this way, please correct me).

The second question: It's completely possible to get 100 MPG (actually 99.9 MPG) bars when using gas. of course, you can't be flooring it. You can think of it like this: if the car is just sipping gas but you're going fast enough, you could be getting something like 120 MPG. this would, naturally, show up as a 100 MPG bar, since the readout doesn't go any higher. Of course, our natural instinct is to see that bar and think we're actually getting infinite mileage. i wish this was true!

So for your final question, i'd say the car is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing. no need to take it to the dealer!

just step on the brake a little harder.

 

Like galaxee said, brake a little harder. When at a stop or near stop (not putting any pressure on the gas pedal) the car will send some power to the electric motor to simulate the creep "feature" of most cars. you know, the feature that allows you to take your foot off the brake and creep forward without touching the gas. If you aren't braking hard enough, the car doesn't really get the signal that it shouldn't be creeping.
