My best overhead reading on my 40 mile trip to work is 44.7 mpg. Was that a good day? Yes. Do I believe I was actually getting almost 45 mpg? I wish.
I've gotten my average mpgs to read over 100mpg on the Ultra-Gauge in my Silverado. Of course, it's when I coast down the long downhill next to the gas station after I fill up.

Congrats on the big numbers! I can't get anywhere near that in my gasser.
