Hi Tel,
The pre facelift cars have a pretty basic digital odometer only I believe, but the facelift cars have a trip computer showing mpg, miles until empty, time elapsed etc. etc.

Only the facelift has a trip computer showing mpg and a few other things.

Get a ELM327 bluetooth OBDII dongle for $15-20 and if you have Android, buy Torque for another few bucks, and you will be able to see current consumption but yeah, it's not the same. It's quite sad that such a new and fancy car lacks board computer - something that even earlier Fiat Punto models have...

The price we have to pay for fuel is bad enough without a machine telling us how quickly we are burning it!! LOL

But when you have something reminding you your consumption, its easier to *not* floor the car
