My mpg indicator always goes wildly from one end to the other. Can anyone explain the purpose of this indicator and tell me if mines is problematic?? Thanks in advance.

Once the car is cruising or on flat /steep down road, pointer moves to left - indicates less gas usage and more MPG.
Once the car on steep hill road / when you accelerate /city -stop and go - Pointer stays on right - Lee mpg-More gas use.

Still we can't all tow a petrol tanker behind the car, to refuel every dozen miles ...
