Fuel Consumption Reading
Just this past week, the reading display for the Gas consumption on my 2005 325xi, which used to show about 10.1 L/100km now all of a sudden shows 1.2 L/100km. WTF is going on? Anyone seen this happen before?

reset it by holding down the "bc" button while its displaying fuel economy and see if it happens again.

Well yesterday after I reset it, the lowest I was able to go was 9.6 L/100km, but I was driving on the highway from Oakville to Scarborough.

Can't believe just yesterday I clocked 200km for the day...
