The bars should only be reduced in number as you accelerate. At idle, they all should appear. Someone correct me if I'm wrong since I never have the bars showing.

They might've tried to make the new revision of it smarter? I know for mine, whenever I'm sitting at idle at a stop light or anything like that my bars fall down to 0

I hate using that bar MPG thingy too. It is totally counter-intuitive and Ford should have not even wasted the CPU circuitry or computer programing to put that crap in our 'Stangs. The average MPG calculator is enough and is much more straight forward.

On a side note, I maxed my average MPG calculator off the chart, I pegged out at an average of 99.9 MPG!

Never use it as I get crap mileage even driving it like gramps stole it. Most gear changes happen at 2000 or less and still only gets 15-16 liters per 100 kilo
