Over what time period? The value for a single trip is mostly meaningless (due to variations in wind speed/direction, uphill/downhill, etc), that number is only reliable as an average over many trips. I use Trip 1 for tracking long term mileage, and I reset it every May 1 and Nov 1 in order to track summer/winter mileage. It's been very consistent for me over the the 2+ years I've been doing this -- I get 2.2 in the winter months and 2.4 in the summer months.
Side note: I really wish they would add another decimal point to this value.
I do this exact thing too....except I leave Trip 2 as the original "all time" figure, and reset the trip one April first and Oct 1st. My logic is that I usually start using the wood stove sometime in early October, and usually stop using it around mid March, so I figured April was a good point.
Interestingly, they are both at 34kw/100km right now. The Spring one was better by about 10% or so, but then I started towing, which has thrown off the spring/summer efficiency.
