No wonder your getting 26mpg, 21 mph, I'm happy to see 20mpg on the freeway ...maybe that is why I say, Hello Officer often :P just kidding its been a while (knocking on wood)

You need a young mechanic and an old mechanic.

Not unless you look over to the passenger seat and Satan is sitting there laughing and telling you to "go faster, go faster" !!!

In Satan's defense, ANYONE sitting in that passenger seat would probably be saying the same thing.

Maybe you shouldn't be taking pictures while driving though...

I'm so proud of you guys.
No one took it as a serious question and pounced with terrifying threats of impending doom.
I just found the "66666" to be interesting, and that some folks would have stopped the car immediately, sold their soul to the Devil, and put the car on a flatbed headed to the Great Shop.
Yes, I took a pic while still moving. Shame. But I was coasting on an off-ramp.
No, I do not normally drive at 25mph. I drive Flat Out.
No, I do not get 26 mpg. The real number is more like 21 for commuting. The OBC value is high because of the oversized injectors installed with the supercharger set up. The OBC just counts the injector pulses, and it still thinks the stock injector fuel rates are happening.
Yes, I drive the snot out of the car. Year-round. Street. Track. Anything less would be a disappointment. I have put 16K miles on the car in less than 2 years after purchasing it from fellow RLer Ferd.
Wuhooo....
I love cheating the Devil

Is the segment on your speedo LCD burned out, or did you actually take the photo while one segment was turning on? Pretty cool either way.
