there are many threads regarding mpg.

but it's not uncommon to see your mpg gauge to go high when descending a hill. if you go down a big hill and put it in neutral you can yield 99.9 mpg. it should adjust itself while you drive.

It's broken. No Z is gonna get that much real mileage. You sure you're reading it correctly?

I've seen up to 39-40 MPG on mine on level ground at 50 MPH on cruise control. It's rare to find a 50 MPH road though.
