Question Need some help or answers with morning drive!? (video inside)

Ok....so i'm not sure the reason for this but i'm curious if someone has had this issue and can help me figure it out. When i drive, the car drives normal (it is like 25-30 degrees in the morning) I give the car obviously a few minutes to warm up.
So driving is fine, however when i put the car in neutral, instead of the mpg going 60 (in the middle display) it goes to 0 lol
I mean obviously the car in neutral can not be doing 0 mpg...

what should i do?

That's normal. That's instant mpg and not your average. My car goes to 0 when i'm at a stop and the clutch is pushed in.

lol i understand that...but it's the opposite of where it should be. watch the video. When you put your car in neutral, the middle display that shows mpg, should be like a full bar, showing that the car is not eating up gas in neutral. However, mine is the opposite.

it's definitely not normal....when you put your car in neutral, the car should not be using any gas therefore the mpg should be a full thick bar...and when you put it back into a gear, thats when the bar should start idling around 10-20mpg...

When I'm in Neutral I'm pretty sure the red is maxed out... I'll check it later for you

If anything ask the dealer?

That is normal man. Your can't can't do 60 miles per gallon when it's not moving. lol
anyways, I think it's more wierd that when you put in park, your engine is above 1k, around 1.3~1.4k. Your engine temperature is in the middle, heated up, so it should be around .8k.
I think that's more big of a problem man, lol
