Default 40.5 mpg average for 550 miles

2014 Mazda3 iTouring 5-door with Technology Pkg with 5,000 miles. Just the approximate mpg from the computer, but impressive. Strangely, it kicked higher than 40 mpg during city driving. So I checked the real time numbers on level ground with cruise control. I could get steady mpg numbers above 40 mpg between 35 and 45 mph, with a steady reading as high as 61 mpg (in the city). The key was I was driving in an area that stop lights only turned red for cross traffic when a car triggered the light change. So there was very little stop and go. Photo of instrument panel attached.
