it really depends what your instant fuel reading is, if you sit on 12L/100km and you instant is 6.x/100km it will drop down from 12L/100km reasonable quick if you hold it around 6L/100km

if your average is 12L/100km and your instant is 11L/100km. dont expect it to move very far

it took me 4 hours driving at 107Km/h to go from 11.9 to 8.2 in a 3.5L with an instant around 6.7L - 8L

Instant fuel reading "appears" to update every three to five seconds. Average fuel must update after X amount of instant fuel updates. You'll notice your average fuel reading fluctuating a fair bit for the first ten kilometers roughly.

Wonder if there's anything about this in the manual?

Depends on how many km the 11.9 represented - if it was over the previous 10 000 k it will take ages to change, if you reset it at fillup, did 10 k at 11.9 to get to the freeway and then an instant of 6.7 it will change quite quickly

Average is total fuel used (since last reset) / toatal KM (since last reset)

Instant is (I guess) fuel used in last "x" seconds / distance trravelled in same time
