what does 29MPH mean?

Hi,
When i start up my engine, i see the total milege and above it says 29 MPG. It used to tell me how many miles left from tank.

Does the 29 MPG mean what i am getting on car? They advertise 26 to 32 MPH.

Thanks

Average 29 miles per gallon. Press the button on the end of the left stalk a few times to get to the screen you want.

Did you not get an owner's manual with your car?

Spend some time with it, you'll be surprised and delighted by all the hidden features you'll find out about, and it'll make your ownership of your new MINI a whole lot more fun!

And as per the subject line, 29MPH is 29 miles per hour, it's a way to measure speed which is a calculation of distanced traveled during a specified time. It can also be referred to with any two units of measurement, but common numbers are meters per second, feet per second, kilometers per hour, inches per hour etc.

If it says 29 MPH, its probably your average speed. If it says 29mpg, its average fuel consumption.
