Default Really High MPG Pictures

I decided to have a little fun with the FCD on a recent drive.



That picture was taken after resetting Trip B at altitude before driving back into town. But that wasn't really 150mph based on the metric calculation--more like 2028.6mpg if my translation is correct.



In fact, the 150mpg lasted even longer before it slowly started to decline.



When I pulled into the driveway, I had this on the FCD:





Of course, I didn't get that kind of mileage starting from my house. I had to drive up to Woodland Park which was where I reset, so here is the mileage before resetting.





All together, the 46.7mpg and the 75.3mpg netted me 57mpg for the 82.4mi! I am now quite certian that the more hills on the drive, the better the overall MPG can be!

.

Commuter car, grocery getter, and summer road tripper--average 10k miles per year.


Winter road trips and ski trips, bad weather commuter and my wife's "daily" driver--expected average 4k miles per year.
