Default What MID screen do you use most?

Since I've only had my I2 for 10 days I'm still constantly playing with the MID. The screen I always go to is the instant mpg to see if I'm driving efficiently.

What screen do you like best and why?

Same here Trip A Instant MPG. It is the one that is most like the FCD screen from my previous Gen1.

I toggle back and forth between trip A mpg which shows my tank overall and trip B, which I usually set for my work commute or alt. work routes.

Yeah, "Trip A - Instant MPG" for me as well.

Each "tick" increments by 5mpg. I believe the tick at 50mpg is actually representing 46-50mpg. I generally try to keep my reading between the 50-55 mark when driving to-from work, which would be somewhere between 46-55mpg.

Same here...I display Trip A (reset at zero each time I fill the tank) and the Instant MPG sliding bar. I shoot for as close to final reading of 60 mpg for each of my trips but usually settle for something just under that. I have a couple of long stretches I can drive at about 40 miles an hour, offset by another two stretches with stop signs every quarter mile or so.

I only use my I2 for commuting back and forth to work. Each time I get in the car I reset Trip B then stay on the instant MPG feeback screen of the MID. I record each TO WORK mpg and each FROM WORK mpg in the calendar of my cell phone. It's interesting to me to see the mpg variations taking the same route(s) on different days. Traffic patterns have a definite impact

I use the Trip A for the overall MPG of that particular tank of gas

I'm confused because I'm a noob, I still don't have 200 miles yet. I don't know what you mean by each tick is 5 mpg. Which screen is this for?

I tend to leave that screen blank and just watch the assist/regen indicator and the blue/green one. I try to avoid using assist, I try to keeping it green and lift to regen every so often while on a trip.
