That's tops! I have been doing a lot of around town driving in the 25 mph range and think of the 600 every time 
i would be gliding electrically for a good portion of the time, and could probably get to work without having to use hardly any gas!
(2 miles to work 25-35mph speed limit)

Map:
https://maps.google.de/maps?saddr=St...via=1&t=m&z=10
The trip: Stavangert to Kristiansund - 877 km one way (545 Miles)
over 4 mointain plateues over 1000 meter high and under 3 fjord tunnels (deepest 223 meter under the sea and 5875 meters long)...8 % elevation:
0.86 l/km = 27,35 mpgs
on the return...even better:
0,82 l/km = 28,68 mpgs
No Highway..only along fjords, over mountains and along vallies on normal narrow Norwegian roads
Always driving a bit over the speed limits....
Did the same trip 2 weeks ago (July 2014).....
and again 2 months ago (April 2015) ... but due to storm in the mountains .. the long way around southern Norway (same result)
0,80 l/km = 29,4 mpgs

Exactly my thoughts. I'm calling the BS flag on this. My best city is 20 with regular speed limit driving. I was only getting 22.5 mpg on my road trip from Atlanta to Tampa yesterday but I was going 85 to 90mph with AC blasting lol. I can get these numbers easily with the reset button on my 600
