    In addition to the momentary fuel consumption, you also get in many cars
    some fuel consumption average over a long period - The Prius gives you
    a monthly average, in most other cars you can reset the averaging period
    yourself (so you can measure an average over 5km, or 5000km, as you
    wish).

My Prius (U.S model, 2008), shows  'at this moment consumption'  and an
average consumption since the last time the gasoline tank was filled .
I'm not sure if it resets only if you fill up a certain (minimal)
amount, only if you reach a certain (low level) of gasoline in the tank
followed by filling it up, or simply any time you pop the gas tank cap
off. However, every time I pull out of the Gas station, I see that the
average counter has been reset.

this is peculear. the japanese Prius 2008 i'm driving never resets the averag counter, unless i do this manully (via a "push button" appearing on the touch-screen).

perhaps it's a feature that can be enabled/disabled - or perhaps its a different behaviour of a USA Prius? i can check the owner's manual..
