Today just to check outside temp I pressed trip comp. And I noticed that my mpg is 29.7mpg. I don't think it's correct. I'm a lead foot for the past two fill ups to test it's worst mpg. I am expecting 16-18 mpg but after 95 miles left for range this is the reading. There's something wrong.
One time also I am at the stop light slightly uphill(if that matters) and the mpg(the dynamic mpg clock) got stuct at 50mpg! Could this be it?

If that is the problem, it's a software glitch that needs to be checked. I'll make some phone calls tomorrow to area dealers in Austin, San Antonio, Houston if this is a known issue.

Do a search on mileage and trip computer, there have been several reports of the trip meter doubling the mpg. I don't recall if anyone figured out a cause for this.

I've flirted with 27 mpg - warm car, filled up and immediately got on the highway, and there have been other reports of pretty high mileage. Doesn't sound like you're one of those right now!

BTW, what happened to your temperature display?
