Does it give realtime MPG?

I have read about every spec sheet and article available on the 09 Fit and have not seen anything mentioned on this yet. When you go to his website ----> 2009 Honda Fit - The Official Honda Web Site and click on the nint picture to the right (the one of the speedometer). Just under the speedometer it shows something Like this 0 - 40 - 80 and has MPG in the top right of it and its lite up in blue. What is this exactly? Will it show you your realtime MPG?

TIA,
LMF

Guess I found the answer with a little research.

Current and average fuel consumption indicator NEW (Both Models)
LCD display shows current fuel consumption and other key information
The LCD display indicates current fuel consumption - a first in a Honda subcompact. Access to current fuel consumption data helps drivers drive more economically. The readout can also be set on odometer, trip-meter and average fuel economy modes.

This is the only place that I have herd this mentioned. Hmmm anyone else hear of this?

It's in the owners manual too. Look around for the link to it in other 09 threads. About 90% of people's questions on here would be answered if they'd download and flip through the owners manual.

Also from the Temple of VTEC First Drive...

"Either way you go, it's not going to set the world on fire with its acceleration numbers, but after driving around in a 5MT Fit for a couple of hours with a mix of city driving and 75-80mph freeway, the in-dash trip computer (which, to Honda's credit, is standard equipment in all 2009 Fits - hooray!) indicated an average fuel economy of nearly 39mpg(!)."

Ya that would be my only concern. I've heard a few bad things about Honda's gauges before.
