It will read 99.9 if you reset it while driving and are barely crusing.

Just resetting it and romping on the gas. It should immediately fall to 6.

Because you drive slow and therefore you get great mileage or maybe you drive a Prius.

You must, I usually average around 10 or 11. I'm a fairly aggressive driver though.

I noticed it a few weeks ago. A buddy of mine has the same issue and we've both had service done at the same dealershiop within the last month or so. Makes me think the dealership had soemthing to do with it. How do you reset it?

When I had a 335 I had never reset the mileage and somewhere in the 20k mi range it did this. It probably reaches the maximum memory for mileage and resets a value giving the most mpg.
