2005 CDTi - trip meter? mpg? - jeff_porter
Hello all,

I've just got a Honda Accord CDTI 2005 car.

Great car, but... I can't find a trip meter to tell me the mpg I'm getting.

I've flicked through the manual twice, pressed all the buttons I can find, and nought.

I can find miles traveled, odemeter, outside temp etc. but no MPG.

It there really no MPG meter on this car?

Note: I have the built in sat nav center console thingie.
Note: Filling up after 530 miles has given me 44mpg.

Thanks
Jeff

Hi Jeff

My wife's best friend has one of these (2005 '55' plate CDTI Executive). It has everything BUT a fully featured trip computer. Like yourself, she was surprised by this, as she assumed it would be part of the spec.

Still, I think everything else about the car makes her smile, so she can live without the fuel consumption readout.
