Any ideas?!

Thanks all

Unless your focus is a hybrid, then you won't see 9999 MPG with the engine running.
The only way you are going to get 9999 MPG on the SG on a non-hybrid is if you shut off the engine and EOC. Or if you have a car that has fuel cutoff while in gear (DFCO?), then you can coast in gear down hills and see 9999 after a few seconds. Good luck, and welcome to Ecomodder!
