Well it should read 9999 MPG tho. Think about it, your covering miles and using 0 gas. You cant express MPG technically. A # cant be given so it just reads the highest # possible. It doesn't actually calculate your trips as your getting 9999 MPG tho. Its the same when ppl say you get 0 MPG when you idle. You cant express miles per gallon if either value isn't present, miles or gallons.

Its reading 230 MPG cause its still reporting fuel usage. When you engine brake the SG2 should read 0.0 GPH. $5 says that when you engine brake and get 230 MPG it reads 0.4ish GPH, still reporting fuel usage even tho there is no fuel being used.
