I'm looking for a way to control when the watts per mile display gets reset. The default appears to be when ever it comes out of park. So if I stop at the Post Office and get my mail, my trip is split in two. I'd like to see it keep going for the entire trip.

In my wife's Camry Hybrid, I just get out of the car, go in and get my mail, come out and continue to say the grocery store. When I stop the car I have the total mpg for that trip.

I could do it manually using one of the trip odos but it would be nice if the car let me spec when to reset it. Given what the car knows, I think I'd like it to reset every time it triggers a walk-away lock. I'd still need to use a trip odo for say driving from NJ to to DC where I would stop and walk away, perhaps do some charging, etc. But this would be good for local driving where I might pop out for 30 seconds and then continue on my way.
