The sliding bar is a real time mileage readout.
If you floor it, the guage drops off to 10 or less. You get up to speed and let off the gas, it shows you are getting excellent mileage since the car is using very little gas to maintain 60 mph. You get back on the gas since you are now starting to slow down and it will drop from "55 mpg" to 15-20 because the car notices you are using more gas.
If anybody is curious, the highest the digital average will go is 99.9 mpg. I did this while coasting down a 3 mile hill at about 40 mph after reseting the average once I got rolling. It was fun to watch it climb up even though it wasn't realistic. Next time I do it I will take a picture since it is something you don't normally see.
