Default Mpg in the is 350 RWD Exceeding expectations

Well I took my first highway trip just 75 miles each way to Denver and I like to hypermile when I can, I managed 31 mpg until I hit traffic I kept between 70-75 mph average.
My has 300 miles on it and in my experience it only gets better once broken in.
In town I've been getting 19 mpg on my first tank. The computer said it was 18.1 but according to the miles travelled and gallons to fill it came to 19.5.
Until I finish this tank I can't say for sure if the computer is accurate or not.

Mine is saying 18.1. Even split between highway and street driving. Still on my first tank of gas. Will confirm when I fill her up. I hope it goes up. But dont mind since it's my weekend car.

I get 15.6 mpg all the time......always on Sport plus don't drive in any other mode unless I'm in traffic then normal mode. I think the mpgs stink. My Isf avg is 11.2 mpg

I get mid 15's, mostly drive "normal", but I live in a hilly area and have a fairly short commute.
