That's some good mileage! How long was it like that? Any hills?

If we're talking momentary bests, I've gotten infinity or 99.9 as represented by the car. That mileage was sustained for at least 1 minute. That's how often the graph samples.

24.7 is my current lifetime average, right now I've got it up to about 25.2. The graph shows steady cruising in somewhat hilly terrain in the 70-80 range. This tank average was about 30.

the best I've had is 28.7MPG when I bought the car and my heavy foot and using sport mode I've averaged 21MPG City driving but with gas going up might reduce the heavy foot to a light foot!

yeah, i'd take these pics to the dealer and DEMAND they fix your GS. Clearly you've got something wrong with the engine if you're only getting 22 or 25 mpg.

There ought to be a TSIB or a recall or something.
