Doggy, You may have defaulted back to kilometers per litre.  Page 27 of your User Manual will tell you how to change it back to Litres per Hundred Kilometers.

After the flat battery, the computer has reset. it will take a little while to restabilise.

After any battery problems the computer resets to instantaneous fuel consumption. You have to reset :blk13 :blk13 :think1 :think1 it by using the buttons to get the reading in kilometers/litre.

Carefully check the units after the number.  It will be either "km/l"    or    "l/100km"    Mine did the same thing after a flat battery and I had to change the display back.
For info 5.5 l/100km = 18.2 km/litre
