I have not reset my Trip 2 since taking delivery and it is currently @ 5.4 l/100km (43.56 mi/US gal). The more recent trend is closer to 5.6 l/100km (42 mi/ US gal) with the colder weather. I do mostly city driving.

You've got to try harder. Lay out a parachute to pull before you go on the freeway!

I should have added that the "change oil soon" minder came on during the trip. Only had about 3400 miles since the previous oil change. Guess all that time running at high RPM was actually considered in by the computer.

Yes. And/or the oil change interval is based on gallons burned. Which is basically the same thing.
Because what gets the oil dirty?
Miles? Or burning fuel?
Someone could prove it by running at idle for 300 gallons worth. I'm dedicated to building knowledge for this group but I'm not that dedicated.

Ah, good to know. Thank you.

The oil life monitor is tracking a lot of inputs, not just the number of gallons burned. If you burn 300 gallons in light cruising you will get a lot more life than if you put your foot into it. It also takes into account the engine revs, the oil temperature, the number of starts, the amount of knock that your fuel is causing, the time exposed to atmosphere, etc.

Maybe.
But gallons burned and time elapsed seem to be the two most heavily weighted components.
People who wait a year, say their oil change reminder comes on.

Miles is all over the map 3000 to 15,000.
Speed they drive is all over the map.
Where they live, you guessed it, all over the map.
First tank of gas with normal temperatures here in Missouri on the new 2025 hybrid pretty much all in eco mode a few times in normal and a few in sport. Here is what the computer said and what I calculated. This is a mix of city and highway, no highway trips over 10 miles.
I’m pretty happy with it so far. As you can see it said I still had over 100 miles to E but got cold again here so didn’t want to run it down low.

Nope. Have to set every time. No big deal. Just muscle memory.
Nice warmer day today 21C (69.8F) and I am finally starting to see the fuel efficiency slide back up.
I decided to take the long way home from a walk in the park. A bit of city and highway driving. Much better than the 42mi/gal I was averaging through the winter!
