Question about trip computer/MPG calculation per trip

[AndrewinMD]

Does the Maverick reset the MPG calculation EACH time you shut off the truck? I'm assuming it does but thought I'd ask anyway. I had a long-term rental in Germany a few years ago, a Seat (Spanish), and the car wouldn't reset the trip monitor (time, distance, and KmPG) if you only stopped briefly, like for gas. I absolutely loved that feature, small as it was, because when I went on long road trips on the weekend, I would get a reading for the entire trip, not broken into smaller segments if I happened to stop at a rest area for anything.

My current Ford Fusion Hybrid doesn't do it -- probably something Ford should take notes on, assuming the Maverick is the same way as my Fusion. While they're at it, put a memory function on there. I can't tell you how many times I've stopped after a long trip, forgot to look at the MPG display (hybrid can vary widely based on terrain and driving habits), and then wondered what it was. If I could even just look at the last entry, it would be very welcome.

No, it does not forget your mileage on the Trip computer. It does give you your MPG's, miles driven and time for every trip you take when you turn off the key. I reset the Trip 1 at my fill-up, but hope to keep Trip 2 going for the life of the car so it can show it's lifetime gas mileage.

I worded that improperly -- I didn't mean the trip computer that you can set manually (Trip A or Trip B). I am talking about the automatic one that gives you a report when you shut down the vehicle. Does it carry over for short pauses?
