If it is anything like my Passat digi dash - I have one on the rev and one on the speedo - one is fuel tank level, the other is instant fuel consumption - so if it move when your accelerate/decelerate, probably the fuel consumption.

that makes total sense now thank you so much
 
Never noticed it - I'm intrigued.

whats more intriguing is there is not a jot of info about in anywhere in the manual or online its driving me nuts as its not what has been mentioned above as i noticed it doesnt go in the direction it should for better consumption it is odd

So as you accelerate the white arrow moves clockwise?

On my Passat the bar moves clockwise on light throttle - i.e. shows better mpg and anti-clockwise as you apply the throttle - showing less mpg. I'm assuming it should be much the same on the Cali dash. Unfortunately still waiting for ours to be delivered so can't confirm.

as ardm says its the bar moves clockwise on light throttle - i.e. shows better mpg and anti-clockwise as you apply the throttle

Likely to be that then.
I have wondered how to get real time MPG, so this is good news
 
The white arrow indicates your average mpg for the trip, the longer you drive for, the more stable it becomes…it’s quite a clever way to get you to drive more economically as the blue sweep circle moves instantaneous with your actual mpg. So if you accelerate hard, the n it will co all the way back to the beginning and your white average arrow will start
To creep down. So In a nutshell, if you can keep your blue line above your white arrow, your average mpg is improving…thats
How I get 40mpg on a motorway run..
 
The blue bit is dependant on what information you have selected to show in the inner circle.
If you have range selected the amount of blue showing represents how much fuel you have remaining.
 
ah, never ordered that (not standard on ES spec Ocean), wish I had now. Probably would’ve paid for itself in fuel savings
