Well, it doesn't "peg" . . .

it goes to the resting position which is something around 40mpg!! Wouldn't that be nice. Never happen. . . . sadly

But that gauge is a measure of the car's vacuum, so the more vacuum the better the gas milage. Conversely, less vacuum means that "you" have got the pedal-to-the-metal, so less gas milage. It's all relative and given the way it is setup, it's correct.

You're "solution" is the one that's wrong; if it went to "0", then you REALLY wouldn't be happy now that you know HOW it operates.
