I believe that you are looking at the Fuel Economy Gauge. It is a horizontal bar that shows Instant Fuel Economy with the Average Fuel Economy to its right. The Average Fuel Economy will show (a meaningless) 999 Miles per Gallon right after filling the gas tank, and for as long as you drive in EV mode and don't start the ICE. (I wonder if 880 km/liter is the metric equivalent of "you just filled the gas tank" 999 miles/gallon.) As soon as the ICE runs, then the Average Fuel Economy starts to drop. lt will stay in the hundreds of Miles/Kilometers per Gallon/Liter until you start using the ICE for a significant portion of the driving time.

Because the Average Fuel Economy calculation is so wonky on a PHEV, it is essentially useless.

See Chapter 4 of the Owners Manual for details.
