The funny part is there was no hill in sight.. this was on flat land..... Obviously on a hill you could do this.. but i didnt... also you would have to be rolling pretty fast to get up past 60... Im curious as to why this displayed like that..

get goin at about 75-80, reset your avg mpg, and let off the gas until about 60, then hold it steady, you'll see crazy gas mileage at 60+ mph avg

I was driving to work a couple of weeks ago and was on what they call the flats.I usually get around 35 mpg at this point but I had about a 45 mph tail wind and I had the meter pegged showing more than 60 mpg. The road curved around and I started driving into the wind and the MPG dropped to around 20 mpg. Those winds can really play havoc w/ the MPG

Go to that screen. Then hit the Enter button (second button) for like 5 seconds solid. It'll reset to 0.0
