What does each row of these fuel consumption bars refer to please?
I've checked in the manual and online without success.
P/S great forum! Thank you for the great posts and responses, which persuaded me to sign up!

Its your last 3 'trips' in mpg measured between you powering up and powering down again. A trip may have been a long one, or forgotten because you just powered up and powered down again after a few seconds or on a longer trip you may have stopped mid journey and powered the car down, which would be shown as two trips. You have to estimate a bit, 1 was about 75 mpg, 2 about 65 mpg and 3 about 68 mpg
I tend to ignore this display .Its useful if its genuine long trips and you can remember them well enough to know whether you stopped for petrol etc, . But if for instance you power up on your driveway, and the engine starts,using some petrol ,but you power down again without covering any actual distance it may give a very poor and deceptive mpg figure for that particular 'trip'. (you can also lose some leaves from your little eco tree display ;D )

Very much appreciated, M'Lord!
Don't tell me it's in the manual?!!! I keep falling asleep trying to read it!
I did have the engine start on me when I was trying to work things out (just got the car) but I'm not sure if it was within the last 3 "trips".
I do doubt that I've achieved 75 or even 65 mpg as my average has just crept up to 60 from 56?
-
I dont know if, or where ,it is in the manual. Jazzik is your man for that. ;D But in warm weather these mpg figures are not impossible. You may be pleasantly surprised.
-
Danoh, it’s quite possible you did get those mpg figures. I recently did a 26 mile trip to a local reservoir and going showed 94mpg and the return 68mpg. I got the same figures on the same trip last summer. My average showing at the moment is 64.5 as the rest of my driving has been local and always hills to get to where I live in Huddersfield.
-
Thank you for responding, Jazzyone!
My car hasn't done 200 miles yet. Perhaps the mpg has improved after a few more miles.

Granted that it does no show the dashboard image, but the description is on Page 145 of 21YM owners manual under Fuel Economy and refered from page 141 as one of the driver information interface sections.

Thank you, Steve_M!
Clearly there in print!
Nothing in my "Owner's Guide", apart from these vague words;
-
Owner's Guide is a printed, reduced content version of the Owners Manual.
Full information is in the downloadable Owner's manual version, either on the honda.co.uk website or via the My Honda+ app.
-
Thank you, Steve_M!
I would never have suspected the printed Guide would have less content! It might actually be more easily readable if they had not removed anything!
Just as you have posted, here from page 146 of the 23YM Manual ;
"Shows the average fuel economy for the last three driving cycles (1-3), and the current driving cycle (0) in l/100 km or mpg.
Each time you set the power mode to ON, the display is updated, and the oldest record is deleted."
The current driving cycle makes 4 cycles displayed in total.
-
Overall average after 2 weeks and a first full tank refuelling shows;
Honda's metered 66.4 mpg.
Self calculated 65.7 mpg
P/S probably better to post on the "MPG" thread instead!
How do I delete a comment which I've posted?

Ask the moderator...
And as for (real) mpg: use https://www.spritmonitor.de/en/
There you also have the option to make your actual consumption visible on this forum under your avatar.
-
Thank you, Jazzik!
Now I know deletion isn't an individuals option I'll be much more careful in posting to avoid bothering people!
That's an interesting Consumption site, once I got past the first page, not understanding German!
-
The easiest thing is just to modify the post,deleting it all except one character such as a full stop, or add a brief explanation such as 'duplicate post'. It still appears, but doesnt waste time Been there, done that ,both modifications and wasting peoples time :-[
-

You can choose between German, English, French and Spanish...
Top right and click on the flag...;D
The link I gave was the English version.

Hello, I wanted to ask you for information on the "Spritmonitor" site, but how are the consumption calculations made and therefore green or red writing?
I have set a consumption of 4.6 l/100 km (official Honda consumption data) but even with a consumption of 5.31 l/100 km I get the green writing, so I imagine there will be a tolerance, I just can't to understand how it works, just to understand if the machine is consuming a lot or a little.
Thanks for the replies.
(sorry for the mistakes I used google translate)
-
Spritmonitor calculates total average consumption (from distance and liters) and compares it to the manufacturer number. This number, however, needs to be set in the vehicle profile. You can modify it or remove it completely. I do not know when number to use, as mk4 comes with both NEDC and WLTP values.
Furthermore I notice that a minimum distance is required, after 1 or 2 entries no color is shown yet.
To make it more complicated: also colors are used for how many entries or fill-ups you made (white - yellow - light blue - dark blue - red).
-
HI,
as a value I entered the WLTP one (4.6 l/100 km) which should be the most "real",
I noticed that if I now change the value of the declared consumption entered (4,6) the results obtained do not change (although I imagine that changing the value of the declared consumption will only affect the new accounts and not the past ones),
I could not understand the speech of the colors (yellow blue red etc.) the translator is not clear in the answer
-
... I noticed that if I now change the value of the declared consumption entered (4,6) the results obtained do not change ...
The information you are looking for is in the hour-glass shaped icon next to the mileage column.
Assuming this is your profile it shows on mouse-over that you are 19% above the WLTP value of 4,6 L/100km
-
Colors white- yellow- light blue - dark blue - red belong to the fuel pump icon. It shown how many fill-ups you did. In Wonder’s example it is yellow, so in between 10 and 25 fill-ups.
-
HI,
I use the application with my mobile
but I don't have all that information,
it's completely different from me,
tells me:
total km
partial km
total cost of fuel
type of fuel e.g. 95
driving style (urban highway etc.)
type of tire (in my case 4 seasons)
and a red or green triangle if consumption is high or low
-
I'm sorry about the misunderstanding - I was even unaware, that there is an app for Speedmonitor...
Had a look at the Android App and I can't see any advantage for me in using the app instead of just the browser site. ymmv
-
Hi, I also tried to register on the site,
all the supplies I made are loaded (now the site is synchronized with the APP) but I still can't see the indications you showed me with the example,
the consumption only shows me the total kilometers traveled and the hourglass which tells me that I am consuming more than the data entered (4.6 l),
but I can't see this check individually on each refueling I've done
-
That is correct! The comparison is only the whole. Also mine only shows this comparison for the total. And in the overview of multiple cars/users.
-
Ah! OK thanks for the info,
based on the percentage marked on the "hourglass" I have high fuel consumption (always less than the car I had before),
I hope to be able to improve, I can certainly do something better, but not many improvements.
"Unfortunately" I use the car to go to work, I cover about 2 km outward and 2 km back, it is difficult to do large averages with such a short distance
-
... "Unfortunately" I use the car to go to work, I cover about 2 km outward and 2 km back, ...
On such short distance you cannot expect "wonders" from a full hybrid!
As my nickname suggests on only two km the engine barely leaves "coldstart" (if ever!)
If this is your main driving profile (and you are bound to use a car) then you are a prime candidate for a BEV (battery electric vehicule).
