Mine said 99.9 for a couple of weeks then went down to 19/20 ish. I think it was just some odd error. My average is around 22.5 but I calculate that after each fill-up.
@moNYtx the displayed average is the overall average since it was last reset. It doesn't change much because it will be calculated over months, even years. From what I can remember you can reset it by holding down the Fuel Economy button and it will start calculating your MPG from that point onward.

I just realzed I have one of this kind of pucs. So, decided to post it here too. I had this on my first drive after installing the BOP. But I did not like the BOP and took it off after like a week or 3 weeks, I think.

I just realized something. Look at every pic on here and I see the guys with those larger numbers showing as their average mpg, have very low outside temperatures. That is interesting to see.
DAlastDon has the lowest temp outside of 27F and he has 263mpg as his average.
Akiriyama has outside temp of 50F and he has 99.9mpg as his average.
farzin1 has outside temp of 82F and he has 30.1mpg as his average.
As for my last pic, outside temp is 106F and I have 30.5mpg as average.
So, I conclude there might be a relationship with the outside temp and what the car generates as an estimate. Just my guess. I don't know if I am right or wrong.

70mph down hill in neutral=263mpg
Though cooler, more dense, temperatures do not hurt.

You can get between 30-35ish on the highway on a road trip, even going 70-80mph. If you keep it at 55ish, might be a little higher. When my car was new stock I got 34mpg on a trip with the Mrs. (In the winter) I didn't believe it.
Recently 27mpg on a trip with wife and 3 teenagers, trunk full of luggage, A/C 75mph.
Our cars are GOOD on the highway.
