I respectfully disagree. The bar actually updates every 5 minutes - not every one minute.

In other words, each bar represents a 5 minute average.

I am not sure on the time scale will read the book and see, but I can tell you, you do not have to be going down hill to achieve this. I have taken many rides along the Indian river from Ft Pierce to Stewart Fl. approx miles 20 and speeds from 35 - 45 mph and can hold 30 on the meter for a long time. Last trip when I arrived in Stewart I was at 28 mpg, which then slowly started to decline riding around town. My wife snaped this pic about 5 miles out from Stewart, hit 28 as we pulled into town. Started the ride out with a full tank and the meter reset. This entire ride is on flat roads, no hills up or down.

Fuel Hist.: Press the right arrow key (when in the Fuel Econ. menu) to
reach Fuel Hist. Fuel history shows fuel usage (AVG MPG or L/100km)
as a bar graph based on time. The duration time can be changed as
follows:
Duration– Press the right arrow key (when in the Fuel Hist. menu) to
reach the following duration choices.
• 5 Minutes
• 10 Minutes
• 30 Minutes
• Last 5 Resets
Use the up/down arrows keys to highlight one of the choices; press and
hold OK to set your choice.
The graph is updated each minute with the fuel economy that was
achieved during the prior 5, 10, 30 minutes or last 5 resets of driving.

So I think this means if set on 5 min it will update every min giving you the last 5 min window, so if there are 5 bars each bar would represent 1 min. Or am I just confused again?

That's easily done for a period of 5 minutes down hill at 35 to 40 mph.

I read it as each bar represents the last 5 minute average. The bar on the display updates every 5 minutes - I've seen it change every 5 minutes - not sooner. Not sure where the "1 minute" comes into play.

Now I'm confused .
