Any way to make the MPG counter ignore idle time?

My MPG is bad enough. I don't need it to look worse just because I use my remote start.

I don't think so. Truth is, remote start warm-ups do add to fuel costs.

You should always reset it when you start to drive off. gives more of a real world MPG. This is what I do at least.

Its better now that it's warming up some, but last week when it was super cold my L/100km in the EVIC was around 35... Almost made me cry lol

Sure it contributes to fuel consumption, but it isn't an accurate contributor to MPG.

I do reset it every now and then just to reassure myself that it's still at least in the double digits.
