Wished you had an sg2.Its likely you exceeded 150 and the gauge just maxed out at that point.
You're right about the gauge maxing out at 150 mpg, but the picture was taken a few miles before it would have started dropping below that. I would typically get 80-90 mpg for the 250 mile trip from my place (about 4500 ft), over the pass, down the hill & across the valley, then I5->I205->I580->I680->101 into San Jose.

I do have an SGII, but it's pretty much worthless for mpg on the Insight. The car's gauge is as close to dead on as I could measure, the SG all over the place.
