Default The faster I go the better the mileage

Has anyone else experienced this;

The faster I drive the better the mileage gets. If I drive normally on the highway (65-75mph) mileage is around 15.7mpg. However, if I leadfoot it and blast along over a 100mph my mileage actually goes up to 18.2mpg

Very strange...............

Just took a little run to the Walmart. AT 75, I was getting a little over 27 pmg. Came back a different way and running at 60, she got an amazing 32 mpg. Are you guys resetting so you get the mpg you are actually getting at the time? Seems like you should be getting better mpg.
