Or do I have to leave it running a little while to show a number? I actually never use it in that display mode.

The only way I can get fuel readings is through the trip computer and that is only averaged and not an instant reading.

Pretty sure its a new minor change. Mine shows one or the either. Instant MPG or avg A and avg B. It doesn't show Avg on top of Instant MPG

10X better than the stock 17" TL wheels! Looks very similar to the 18" Advance wheel IMO, just more "edgy" and agressive styling. It is like they took the SH wheel and smoothed all the edges down (pretty much like the rest of the car) when they designed the 18" Advance wheel.

I like those wheels over the stock 17", but feel like they look a bit rough on a vehicle as classy as yours. They suited the 09-11 model better IMO.

20" Legend Type II Liquid Graphite on that car would be perfect.

Is that the replacement color for Grigio? I have the Grigio on my '09 and love it. I like the brown undertones on my car. Does the new color have those?
