Yeah, I did when I got back to normal city driving it went back to 21mpg. It was crazy to see the really high number though.

Ya, the highest I've been able to get is 42mpg. Your meter must be wack, I've tried going 60 in 6th, and I never got close to even 50mpg.

Try 20mph in 6th, might be able to get 60mpg.

you get better gas mileage if you leave it in 4th on the highway.....try it next time and see for yourself.
