Anyone see the L/100k gauge go up when stopping. Seems to be all the time. As i approach a stop, the gauge slowly goes up to almost full. 20 i think. Then drop to 0?

I'd say that's normal. When you come to a stop consumption will go up and then when the car realizes that our just stopped it will go to zero since it can't show infinite. I *think* my dad's old E36 had the mileage dial recessed and the needle would disappear behind the rev counter on the far right...


Oh and mine does exactly the same thing.
