karlos1987 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I have read somewhere to reset your ecu and mpg display you disconnect the battery for half hour. Is this true? Does it have to be both battery leads? Sent from my C5303 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlos1987 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 I don't want to reset the trip computer. I want to reset my average mpg as it's saying I'm getting 26 on average which is silly in my opinion seen as it's a 1.6 petrol focus. I don't boot the car at all. Mainly cos there is nothing to boot with. Lol. Does 26 mpg sound about right to you? It's mostly town driving. Bearing in mind I very rarely go above 2k revs. Sent from my C5303 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 sounds about right for town driving to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlos1987 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Really? I'm shocked at that. Oh well will just have to live with it then. Lol. Sent from my C5303 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambell Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Surely you can reset the average mpg through the menu system and don't have to disconnect the battery? Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlos1987 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Have no idea mate. I have seen people on here saying about disconnecting the battery for half hour or so and it resets it. Sent from my C5303 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invisible Man Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I can 28-30mpg with town driving if I drive very carefully, and thats in a 1.8 petrol Skipping gears etc, 1st to 3rd and skipping 2nd seems to increase fuel economy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
