Workhorse Avg Fuel Economy

I have a 2005 Southwind on a Workhorse W22 chassis with the 8.1 liter Vortec engine and I would like to know how to reset the avg fuel economy in the instrument panel display. I've tried everything I can think of to no avail. I know that it resets from time to time, but I can't figure out how. It doesn't seem to reset when you reset the trip meters or by holding the buttons down when the avg is displayed. Nothing in the owners manual.

    My average over the last 80,000 miles is 7.1mpg pulling a 4,000lb toad.

    I don't even look at that reading on the gauge...My thought is that it lies. Kinda like VW.

    Larry, if your not aware Workhorse has a Actia dash recall so if your dash info is not working right you can go to a Workhorse dealer for a free of charge recall repair. Hope this helps you!

    It'll end up being around 7.2 mpg give or take a little. Don't need a computer.
