anyone else get crazy MPG readings?

I think the MPG computer reading is pretty accurate when compared to regular math cal., as it is most of the time off by +/- .2, worst being .4 miles per gallon.

The highest I've seen mine was on the freeway doing 60-mph (it read 34mpg). I typically see the following:
Highway: 50mph = 32 MPG
Highway: 60mph = 30 MPG
Highway: 70mph = 28 MPG
City: < 35mph = 18mpg
City: < 20mph = 16mpg
Freeway Onramps = Doesn't matter

mine is usually between 16-18mpg.
I did the reseting on the highway.. i was avg. 99+ @ 65mph.
haha.. I was also going down hill at the time. Didn't take long for it to plumet down to 65 than 39, than 28, etc...
haha.. good thread. I hope my mpg goes up a little bit (haha) after it's got a few more miles on it.
