0, IIRC (I haven't really paid attention lately, and its not a DD). Back-to-back runs of 0 throttle (tps @ 9) on the freeway, and most times it will go to 9999MPG, but some times not. Same with city driving. I gave up trying to figure out the pattern. Its more useful to me monitoring instantaneous MPG to "today" MPG, and adjusting my driving habits (or not!).

and interestingly, the SgII does show a finite consumption and zero speed when stopped and idling... more instructive to show gph than mpg for this...
here's another thought: if you were to coast down in gear and record the speed or gph and rpm (unfortunately the current SGII can not do that, I'm told), and if the injection is indeed cut off at high rpm (yet to be confirmed), you'd probably be able to tell at what rpm it comes back on by looking at the data (either a reduction in deceleration rate or the gph going back up) |
The SG will show both GPH & RPM.
