trip meter
Resettable mileage gauge
A trip meter is an auxiliary odometer in a vehicle that can be reset to zero, allowing drivers to measure distance for a specific journey rather than total miles driven.
Most cars have one or two trip meters alongside the main odometer, useful for tracking fuel economy, measuring routes, or logging business mileage.
I reset the trip meter when I filled up to calculate my gas mileage.
