Is This Normal?
 

We recently upgraded from an E53 to an E70, and I have noticed that when coming to a stop at a traffic light, the fuel consumption gauge goes from 0 l/100 Km (decelerating) to 15 l/100 kms briefly then back to 0 as I apply the brakes.

This didn't happen with the E53.

I can't recall if this happened on the E70 before I cleared all the codes and re-set everything using a scan-tool.

Is this normal behaviour for the E70? O ris it still in learning mode?

On my e70 the fuel consumption flips to ∞ vs. zero when you stop.

OK, so it is normal.

Thanks.

Any idea why?

People didn't like the mpg showing zero (accurate) they prefer being lied to

Duh!!

I use it as a guide only - how economical my driving style is.

So when stopped, there is not much I can do (except turn off the engine) to affect it.

I was just curious about this "feature".

I first saw this "feature" in older Benz. Yes, normal, they (Benz) did the same thing.
