My 2023 Kia Stonic Mild Hybrid has a moving bar icon on the fuel economy screen
The bar moves up & down as you are driving along & varies from 0 to 25 to 50.
Anybody have any idea what this represents ??
And yes I have read the owners manual.
TIA

    Instantaneous mpg readout, lots of Far Eastern cars use a similar gauge.

    Both Ford and BMW had this many years ago - if I recall correctly the objective was to keep it in the middle for best fuel economy - of course trying to do that and watch the road was not easy.

    Front seat passenger took the pictures but thank you for your concern.
    Not in the handbook as I pointed out in my OP.

    Lovely car it is.
    One or two silly little niggles but you get them with all cars.

    @greyteam1959 why is your speedometer in km/h and consumption in mpg ?

    Because the car is a LHD in Spain & that is how I have set it up.
    Litres per kilometre mean nothing to me.
