What does AVG mean on a Nissan car?
2 Answers
AVG is the abbreviation for average. The AVG on the car dashboard refers to the average fuel consumption. Calculation of average fuel consumption: Fill up the fuel tank and reset the odometer to zero. Drive more than 100 kilometers on your usual route, such as commuting to work. Then, refuel at the same gas station—you don't need to empty the tank, just fill it up again. Record the amount of fuel added in liters, denoted as A, and check the odometer for the distance traveled, denoted as B. The actual fuel consumption per kilometer can be calculated using the following formula: Actual fuel consumption per kilometer = A/B × 100. For example, if you travel 150 km and consume 14 liters of fuel, the result is 9.3 liters per 100 kilometers (L/100km).
I just checked my cousin's Sylphy last week, where AVG stands for average fuel consumption. The data displayed on the center console or dashboard can be toggled between short-term and long-term by pressing the INFO button on the steering wheel: short-term AVG shows your real-time fuel consumption over the past two hours, while long-term AVG reflects the comprehensive fuel consumption over 5,000 kilometers. To reset the long-term data when parked, hold the TRIP button for five seconds—but never attempt this on the highway. If you want to save fuel, don't obsess over the instant consumption; focus on the trend of long-term AVG. A drop of 0.5 after maintenance proves that switching to full synthetic oil really helps.
