What are the trip computer functions?

[Candyman]

Hello all, I just bought a 172 but alas it had no handbook in the glove box

Can someone tell me what the different items are on the trip computer, I got all but 1!

milage
MPG
range
gallons
trip meter (miles done since reset)

and theres one more? I cant figure out what it is!

1) millage - 55027
2) trip (i think) 143
3) gallons 5.2
4) mpg 36.2
5) range 188
6) 189.4 ????? what?
7) average speed

It has two trip computers.

a) total mileage recorder,
b) trip mileage recorder,
c) fuel used,
d) average consumption,
e) current consumption,
f) estimated range,
g) distance covered,
h) average speed,
i) recommended speed (speed
limiter/cruise control).

from the manual

mines missing E and I, fair enough. But trip mileage recorder and distance covered? one and the same surely!

One millage you can reset to 0
The other if you reset it to 0, it's also resets your MPG, average speed etc
