When you fill up, do you reset all your gauges?

Is it just me, or does this car have several things that can be reset after filling up a tank of gas? I am wondering who actually resets them all.
First, there is the number of miles under the odometer that can be reset.
Then, on the screen betwee the speedomoter and tach, you can reset the average MPG per MPH and the amount of time driven per number of miles. Also, on the main information screen above the CD controls, you can reset the gas mileage there as well (the one that stores it into a chart showing you each time you reset this setting).
That makes 4 things to reset! Does everyone do this, or are there setting you just leave alone?

the mpg computer will do that for you if your reset the mpg gauge instead of the trip odometer.

i use the trip odometer for work reasons for mileage reimbursement

I reset them all AND log all the details into a notebook that I keep to document the full history of the car.

I reset them all (except the oil/filter guages) when I fill up.

I also store this info in my PDA first so I know my MPG, the difference between the MPG from the car and the real MPG, etc.

I was doing all of the main three in the instrument cluster, until you brought up the one on the NAV screen. Time to do that too.

Just realized that I needed to reset the one on the Center screen! But yes I reset them all. Seems like with every fillup my MPG continues to go up.

I just did my first fill up and because of this thread I reset everything. It sucks because my 03 accord had an option to reset mpg at refuel.

I have gone from 15.2 to 17.1 to 19.8 (I divided #of miles by amount at fillup)

Just filled the tank, and according to trip computer, my 160 mile highway romp got 23.2. Now that I am in the city, this will drop off a cliff, but it was nice while it lasted.

1100 miles on ODO
