It's obviously a long term display. There are 2 different trip counters which you can reset giving average speed, mpg etc and a 3rd one which resets each journey which I tend to leave on to display my average journey mpg.
Have a look in the handbook or have a play with the computer using the right hand "ok" button on the steering wheel (on 13my onwards models anyway, not sure if older models are the same) Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

On a 2008 FL2 that is going to be a running average. There was no instantaneous mpg readout on the pre facelift cars.

Have you tried resetting it?

Press and hold the button on the end of the left hand stalk till it goes blank. Andy

The computer technology on these trucks is comparable to a piece of wet seaweed

Mine is a 2008 MY2009 and doesn't have instantaneous MPG, only average MPG.
So it was either an option, or a slightly later update of the Ipack. I am planning on upgrading my Ipack software at some point, to add some extra information. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

I reset mine every time I fill up, I like seeing how high I can get it too, so far the highest is 35.6. Incase you don't know just hold the button on the end of the indicator stick for about 5 seconds and you'll reset it then it'll start over. ps put slippers on instead of lead boots LOL

Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter that's made me laugh, tbh I don't care either, it's the comfort I like, it's the mpg thing that keeps me awake seeing what I can get out off it.
