Your right but the data is misleading because the total time your using to calculate my speed includes idle time as we'll. Said another way if I were to measure fuel economy with highway speeds only 70-75 mph my fuel economy would be a little higher.
Oh..... Sorry I could have sworn you said that was mostly driving. Although even if you took away 15 minutes from each time for idle time(which is a lot for a "mostly highway trip"), the first pic would be about 58 mpg average and the second would be 61 mph average which is still low considering you are taking out for idle time.
Yeah I said the majority of the miles driven was highway, but that excludes the total time. When I think about it (most times I'm already on the road)I reset the fuel mileage screen in my driveway and take a snap shot when I arrive back into my driveway. This way the fuel mileage I'm reporting includes travelling in both directions. Also just about every trip I stop at a feed store to pick up some corn so there's more idle time.
BTW... Driving down I10 at 61mph could be dangerous to your health.
