My 2008 Ford Focus has a digital miles per gallon readout. Lately the display has begun to fluctuate wildly.
On average the display used to read 29-34 mpg and it was fun to maintain the highest mpg possible. Now it drops 2-4 mpg (measured in tenths) within a few city blocks, regains the 2-4 and drops again. Just sitting at a traffic light, it may drop or even rise. It's become so unreliable that I've turned off the display.
The car has 48k miles and runs like a charm.
