Made ya click!!! But for a 10 mile stretch, I was behind a tractor trailer doing 60-65 on the NJ Turnpike, and during that stretch I reset the SID and it said 34 MPG!!! It had said 29 or so before I decided to slow down and follow the truck. Then he got a little pissed, slowed down to 50 mph to make me pass him, and then my SID went quickly back below 30MPG and he decided to stay on my tail for a few miles (like I was going to significantly help his mileage, haha). It was cool and humid with the noreaster that just blew by yesterday.
I disagree about the optimum conditions though, engines like cold dry ambient air, thermodynamically speaking anyway.
Anything above the 26 it's rated for, and if you go to fueleconomy.gov the "revised EPA estimate" says 24 I believe, not 26mpg, is gravy.
