how does auto stop/start save me 1 mile of fuel every 3-4 seconds?

144 views

Everytime the engine turns off in my 2022 Nissan pathfinder the timer continues and every 3.5 seconds on average the total fuel saved goes up by 1 mile. I know this because it has a timer that continues everytime the engine turns off. Currently it reads 13 minutes and 21 seconds off and 227 miles of fuel saved

How am I saving 1 mile worth of fuel every 3.5 seconds? I get 16.3 mpg and 18 mph on average after I’ve driven 2500 miles

That is an average, and it’s calculating it based on how much fuel you’ve been using. A shutoff means it’s using almost no fuel, so it keeps calculating the average and giving you crazy high numbers. They need to make their algorithm a little smarter. I’d bet its the same algorithm that was designed for the Pathfinder before the auto-shutoff feature was added, so now it gets confused.
