Normal, imo...when that 'mpg' setting is re-set, it will show very current mpg in just those few short miles. You probably weren't even getting '9' up that hill.

Any car I have/had with a mpg readout is suspect, (usually optimistic), and of little value except over a whole tank, or several tanks full, for a cumulative estimated reading.
