Was that an average from a stand-still or did you reset it once you were on the highway? Over how many miles was this averaged?
Just want to see if I can do the same.

Here's another to prove it wasn't just a spoof.

Yeah, I tested my '07 on a highway while it was breaking in (@ ~500 miles) to see what gas mileage it got. I stopped varying my speed and reset the computer really quick... unfortunately, I couldn't resist trying to pass someone. I managed to get 30 mpg even though I accelerated to pass someone! This car's fuel consumption is better than the sticker states, for sure.

If a challenge is started with your thread, some parameters should be set so everyone is dealing with the same thing. Say minimum of 20 miles, beginning elevation same or less than ending elevation, and I would say the start should be from a standstill so it's the same for all.
But, it's your thread DavidS. I don't want anyone calling me a green weenie.
