Default fuel computer probs

hey peeps, just wondering if anyone can help me out...basically when im stationary the fuel computer is fine...registering 0mpg...however when i move off...it reads correctly but then all of a sudden registers 99mpg and the range etc starts going up (as though i actually am getting 99mpg)...and it wont sort itself out till i stop the car...then when i accelerate again, after a short while it does it again...

ne one know whats going on?

@ replies...mine does the same to but ud be suprised how accurate it is...well inaccordance to the petrol used (thats all i used it for lol) then when i fill it back up it does add back upto around the 47litre mark...

i dont mind removing it...probably will replace it with a built in act gauge ....but thats a last resort lol
