Default Re: MPG - Calculated vs. computer?

It seems like 120 is the max that gets factored in, I remember once crusing down a long mountain road and I couldn't get the average to go beyond that.

It also has to do with the sampling rate, if it's a high sampling rate than the average will be closer to real value, if the sampling rate is every minute (i know it's not) the average is going to be way off.
