That is what Instantanious means. It's the fuel mileage at that exact moment.

When your not moving you're getting o miles/gallon. when you're moving, you're getting whatever the display is telling you you're getting.
If you want something a little more long term, the next step on the display is the continuous mileage. you can reset that and see what you are getting over a period of time.

If you jump into your owners manual, it will better explain it but your car's readout is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. Giving you a real time mpg based on your throttle position, and speed and rpms.
