I am waiting for the driver who doesn't know how to reset the counter and will come up with an average over 100k!

Reset mine every fill, 5000 miles seems a lot for anyone to have tracked it over :p

Some cars allow tracking of more than one trips.
 
Sure I have a better one somewhere

I might still have a photo from my 2013 2.0 TDIe A4 which i let trip1 run for the entire ownership (32,000 miles).

It managed 56.4MPG average.

Can't do the S3, as I've only covered 1700 miles so far!
 
2005 1.4 Corolla, average 41.05 mpg over 12,111 miles. Seen as high as 48mpg on a run, as low as 34mpg when pushing it through the valleys in Wales. Annoying, 1k miles ago my average was 44.8 - lots of driving in the Peaks recently, really kills the mpgs when you have to be in second or third at 4k rpm to maintain speed! FuelLog screen shot because no trip computers...

I'm pretty sure that my wife's car doesn't reset the average MPG when I reset the trip. If I go on the history for the MPG there is only one entry which is ~20.4mpg over around 55k miles.

Who on earth doesn't reset the trip computer for 5000 miles? Nobody is going to be able to comply with this. Mine is reset every time I fill the tank and I've averaged a total of 38mpg since buying it.
 
Same as fox. I reset one trip every fill and the other gets reset at the beginning of a major trip. There's no way I can comply with your rules which are quite frankly silly.
Averaging around 25mpg at the moment.
 
Pretty sure mine auto-resets at 2000 miles, so I can't play :(

Nevermind the fact it'll take months to do it even if I could...
 
Don't have a pic to hand as the car is gone now (might have something if I go digging the archives) but my 4.6 V8 BMW X5 did 12.3 mpg.

Totally agree ... one is automatically reset after ever refill and I reset the other before most long journeys. I'm averaging about 39mpg since I bought it which isn't too bad for a big petrol.
