Dodge Magnum RT-I recorded 29 MPG Highway

So I drove to Palm springs area early this morning for a meeting from Rancho
Cucamonga (Ontario area) on 10 freeway (Relatively flat)
Because of the comfort of UConnect, I was able to be on the phone from
Ontario
to Cabizon. Also I only cruised at 60-70 mph

At Cabizon I stopped to buy some clothing at the retails outlet and noticed
that my car averaged 29.3 MPG on the computer. Pretty unbelievable!

Of course coming back was more like 23 mpg since there was traffic and when
there was no traffic I was more attentive (meaning I was flying)

I have posted pictures I took of the odometer on my webshots site below.
Look in the album with cars.

Trip computers can vary quite a bit from reality. What was the mileage based
on calculation?

 

Trip Computer. Are you going to bust my bubbles?

Someone did a comparison a while ago and the chrysler computer matched his
fillup calculations with 0.1 miles per gallon.

 

Should have noted that I am not sure what model car his comparison was
except it was another chrysler.

 

I think it was a Sebring. Mine (also a Sebring) can be accurate to within
..3MPG at times, but when it's not it is always overstating mileage 1-3MPG.
Same for my wife's car. It isn't always accurate, for some reason.

If it uses the in-tank sender, it could be that sometimes your car is
Full instead of FULL-FULL.

 

I disagree. The trip computers in our vehicles have been unbelievably
accurate on every occasion that we've double-checked them (many times
over the 11 years we've owned the '93 for example). The only thing that
would throw them off is non-stock sized tires without the proper
correction in the software.
