I don't know, maybe you have the 62 mile reset bug and what you saw was the average MPG for the last 62 miles or less of your trip.

The first part of the trip was that and it's calculated by both the odometer and the trip meter also. Remember this was a round trip the first trip to Sea World the Dash read 45.6. It was the second part of the trip coming back that I went on a terror trying for the best gas mileage I could. To make it simple it was rare that my MPG meter read below 50 even going up hills. I would sacrafice speed for MPG and take advantage of every possible downhill and straight away. Now the only thing weird that happened during the trip was my MPG meter when in the 72+ miles per hour range would space out and go down to 0 MPG. And three people total including me with one person being my son who weighs about 60lbs. Long story short I double checked the math even went to map quest to verify the distance. I was shocked that was the first long trip I took with this car. Next major trip will be to Yosemite and I'll post when that happens too. The trip to start from LA has major mountains but after that it's flat land for long distances. Or maybe go a hit Vegas there are tons of uphill stretches on that drive.
