I've done 99.9 mpg.
How, you ask? Easy. Get to the top of a hill and coast down in neutral, reset gauge and wait for the display to recalculate. Works best on an interstate where you've got a pretty steep decline with a few miles to coast.

I have noticed actual calculated mpg is much different that what the computer tells you you are getting also. Mine usually averages about 24mpg per tank of gas. Last time I did the actual calculation based on miles driven and amount of gas used or put back in at fill up, I actually got about 20mpg.
