I'm with No Snaab - 40mpg sounds way nuts. I wouldn't take what the trip computer says as gospel. I always calculate my actual MPG and log my SID readout every fill-up, and I've found it to be anywhere from dead on to about 3mpg optimistic (more mpg than actual).
Note that you can even make it read 70~80mpg if you wanted it to, just accelererate to highway speed, reset your fuel mileage, then coast... You've just disregarded the fuel you had to burn to get the car's mass up to that speed in the first place.
My point is that the SID reading is to be used as a reference only.
Additional note: Driving like a sane person I've gotten several tankfuls at over 30mpg on my '01 9-3 SE with JSP Stage 4, maybe 80% highway. Gotta love it!
