Maybe somebody reading this can tell more about the computer MPG. I had 08 Highlander,and you could reset Avg MPG anytime. Now it seems like the only way of resetting the AVG MPG on my 07 RX350 is after a fill up. Their should be away around that. I would like to know,if turning off power to the computer and back on,if that would allow to reset,instead of cumulative AVG MPG. I guess I'll have to buy Scanguage to get AVG when you wan it.THX

I don't know about an '07, but my '10 can be reset by pushing the toggle on the steering wheel in and holding a couple of seconds.

Both the avg MPG and avg speed are reset that way. With navigation, I don't think you can reset "best" MPG. that maybe lifetime. Perhaps some one else could tell us that.

When I fill with gas, I reset odometer "A", avg MPG, avg speed and calculate the MPG based on what my receipt from the pump says and the odometer. I keep hoping to break 30, but winter is here again, so it ain't gonna happen.

I thought that feature was somewhere in nav on the 2nd gen, the screen that included distance and time which we don't have in 3rd gen. I recall some kind of reset button. You might want to post this question in 2nd gen thread. Good luck.

If I remember correctly, to reset the "best", you have to use the trip/odometer button on the bottom left side of the dash. Select the trip that you want and hold the button until it resets to zero. If that was the best mpg you had, it should be picked up and recognized as such.

Thank you all very much! I just want to let you know,that I took it to Lexus dealer,last week. The service manager had to get in and drive it into the garage,and got out to talk to the mechanic. He said that model only resets after a fill up! He was going to check to see if it could be by-pass. If They can't do something for me,I'll have to look at something else.THX

My bad, "best" is reset by using the remote control joystick and push the "clear" button in the upper right corner of the screen. Best is the best for the life of the car if never push that button or best since you last pushed that button.

At any rate, my best is 29.1 mpg and I have never left a stop light using battery as my lead foot always kicks in the gasoline engine.
