Default 99.9 MPG!!! Verified!

Managed to pull this one off and had to grab the camera to make it official!
I hit RESET while coming down a long mountain road. Would just turn off overdrive (downshift into 4th) to slow a little during the turns. While I thought it was hilarious when I'd reset when on the freeway, when it might register 35mpg, watching it hit 99.9 was a gas!
Just wish I could have this kind of mileage with my zero - sixty time! When is the electric Mustang coming out? They have the Tesla doing 0-60 in 4 seconds!

Yeah, but the oil companies are paying big bucks to keep it a secret. It's all a big conspiracy.
