So...here is a qwuestion for you all....is 99.9 the highest mpg that can show up on these units, or are they limited to something lower. I WILL NOT get near that with my Geo, but have been getting from 52-61 depending on the conditions and how it is driven. I'd hate to buy something that has a limit of 40 or 50 mpg....anyone know?

AND...
I need to update my sig....the SRT4 has ran a 12.17 at 115 mph still on street tires and 93 octane fuel; the Voyager now gets 26 mpg with only replacemnt of the stock air filter with a three layer home made section of screen mesh; the Geo gets a max of 61 mpg, not 63....AND, I won the Stick Shift Nationals in October to raise my number of NHRA/IHRA Championships to 36, using my mechanics plain jane Neon while I was awaiting parts for the twisted in half input shaft on the SRT4 at the next to last race.

Decelerating in neutral at 140km/h with the engine running I saw a reading of 292mpg...

On flat ground with a steady throttle at freeway speeds I can keep the instant mpg reading from jumping more then .2mpg.

I found that with my winter tires I had to up the EFF number to 93 to keep a relativly accurate reading.
