I should hope so!

Once you get lean burn operating properly, 44 mpg will feel like a bad dream.

I’ve travelled about 280 miles on my present tankful and my gas gauge registers about one segment above the half tank marker. Am I looking at about a 50mpg average so far?
Aren't you able to reset/view any of the car's MPG meters? There are 4 that you can reset (if the button's working): lifetime; Trip A; Trip B; Segment (FCD button on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel).
