I've found a wierd glitch in my computer/mpg calculations. I have a long, light traffic, stretch of autobahn that I drive to work on every day. I usually max it out at 163-164 for a few min at a time every day. I decided to play around and reset the mpg while driving and see what I got at speeds. I've got the expected 6mpg, sometimes 8mpg etc at high speeds but.... when I'm at exactly 141-143 I get some incredible numbers!! It hits above 80mpg everytime! I've tested this the last few days and it's very repeatable(traffic allowing) as soon as I hit 141 or so, I reset the mpg and it jumps way up and it stays there. If I drive at this speed for a few min it will stay there and goes toward the average mpg. Today I tried resetting before getting on the autobahn and when I got up to speed, I stayed at the 141ish speed and, without resetting, the average started increasing very fast reaching over 30mpg. When I got to work I still had 19mpg for an average. This is from my normal running average of 10.7. As I say, if it was just for a second or two I could understand, but this is for all the time Im at this speed. Any ideas?

guess we found our cruise speed;)

Interesting, amusing, and completely impractical. Thanks for the description, it is fascinating.

I can just see it now...but officer I get 80mpg at that speed :p

Hmmmmmmm, I don't think CHP would be too understanding with me on that one.

Knowing this new piece of information, all Canadians should be applying to get a refund of there new $4,000 gas guzzler surcharge. What other vehicle does better than 80 mpg...

80 MPG with a car like that would be great.... ....until you wake up from your dream... :)

I am curious to know what causes this glitch. Very odd. I wonder why the SRT Team hasn't come across this problem yet? ;)
