Daox,

Looking forward to your updates from HybridFest to see how you made out with getting your SGII updated and if you had some time to use it on the way home.

I've had 4-5 good highway runs using GPS and have found my trip mpg ranges from 61-72 mpg on the highway depending on terrain, traffic, weather, etc.

I've been using GPS in combination with IGN. While I am still trying to hold IGN 14 on the highway the GPS feature helps me fine tune the IGN 14. While the SGII stays at 14 IGN the GPS ticks down from 18 to 17 to 16/16.5 and eventually reads 100+ mpg for as long as I can hold it.

I also installed the GAS (tank % left) Xguage feature and it seems to be consistent with the pips on the gas guage. At 3 pips it ticked down from 30 to 27.5 and when I hit 25 another pip came off to leave me with 2 on the gas guage. While I don't make a regular practice of running below 2 pips I'm going to run this one down to 1 pip to see what the GAS Xguage tells me.
