During the course of my tank I like to keep "mpg checkpoints" to see how I'm performing against my past tanks as a little motivation for the next 100 miles I drive. To do this I record my MFD mpg every 100 miles and compare my current tank against my best-ever MFD mpg at those checkpoints.

After toying with my new GPS Xgauage setting and a good run of 70 highway miles my first 100 miles on my current tank are a record for me at 66.0 mpg (and I'm sitting at 66.3 mpg right now after 105 miles). Hopefully, this translates into record 200, 300, 400 and 500 segments as well as an all-time high tank.

Here's my all-time best mpg at each 100 mile interval:

100 - 66.0 mpg (current tank)...previous high was 64.1
200 - 64.0
300 - 63.9
400 - 63.3
500 - 63.7
At fillup - 63.8 (last tank)

Next week I have some unavoidable highway traveling (about 200 miles) and hope my new GPS Xguage feature keeps me in the game and headed towards an all-time high tank!
