Do you have the luxury package? I don't have a button like that on my steering wheel. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

I've been doing it the old fashioned way; fill up the tank, set the built in H3 tripometer to zero. Went about 303 miles. Then after filling the tank I divided the 303 miles by the amount of gallons used. 303 divided by 19.64 yields about 15.4 miles per gallon. This was mixed city/highway driving though. Have about 600 miles on the H3 so far. Thanks for the link; makes things easier.

Looks like a gas pump. Lower left hand button on steering wheel. Not sure if they have those on the H3, just assumed it was on the lux package, can't remember now, since it was months ago that I test drove the H3.
