40ish for me. 72 seems a bit high under normal conditions, but maybe you just run triple digits every time you get on the freeway .

Mine says 31 and I always drive it 90+ whenever I'm on the highway. Plus when I'm in 35 and 45mph zones, I'm doin' atleast 60. That's why I don't think that 72 is possible. You'd have to live "on top" of the freeway and never drive it anywhere else besides the highways and even then...............

Of course it is. So is 100. You are forgetting that the avg speed function is not the car's avg speed since the day it left the assembly line; it is simply the avg speed since last reset. So reset the computer, get on the highway, drive at 70+ for a few miles and check your avg speed. Let me know what that says.

wow, why is 72 so inconceiveable? I drive around 100 miles a day, and about 93 of those are on the highway (93% of my miles). Assume I do 78 on this highway on average (fluctuates from this), and a low average of 30 on the side roads. So simple algebra tells us:

(78 mph * .93) + (30 mph * .07) = 74.64 mph

The difference could account for the short time I am going through the tolls, or at a stop.

Math is fundamental!

Averaging above 50 mph for over 6000 miles! Awesome and unusual. Now, what milage do you get and how many miles do you do between fill-ups?

BTW, my usual ave. speed(I reset at every fill-up) is 35-36 with little city, little freeway and mostly back country roads that require a lot of shifting.

Normally it hovers at 37 MPH.

That is really sad.

Did those top speed runs mean nothing to my computer
