are you serious! I'm out in merritt, barely ever doing more than 50km/h and I just filled up today and get 480kms? Is this right? My car has the Stage 2

update road trip all freeway and 70mph

Computer reset for mileage available 460miles We know this is incorrect since 60lb injectors Actual mpg was about 29mpg.

well 250motorsportz... i dunno. it's what i get. i really don't drive it hard at all. only stock at the moment... i usually have my tire from 35 to 40 psi... and ever so often i throw in an octane booster and/or injector cleaner... nothing really specail... use premium but i doubt that will make all that much of a difference.

Translation - short trips in town = poorer fuel economy.

Especially when you let that stage 2 strut it's stuff

Take her for a longish highway run, guessing you will see much better mileage

Use the instantaneous readout to find the sweetspot on the highway when you activate cruise control. That would be the absolute highest MPG you would get, which is unattainable since you will always have to stop somewhere and idle. The average calculation is useful for your fill ups but if you want to diagnose something or compare data, the instant readout is useful.

This is my best. It took a lot of drafting behind large vehicles and a tail wind.
2007 G5 GT, 5-speed, stock.

well ive seen some outrageous readings on my mpg gauge but i doubt they were true. Thats on MY case, YOU were drafting, quite possible with that drag shadow....

well doing the math, the tank is 13 gallons if you can manage an average of 35 mpg at whatever speed(s) you are going you can get to 455 miles before a fill up. Now I brim mine every time I fill up so if I try can get almost an extra gallon of fuel in my filler neck. Which means 500 miles on a tank is possible

non stock fuel injectors? dic goes to **** iirc. best way to calculate mpg is to keep a log of everytime you fill up. put in the mileage of the car and how many gallons you just filled up. then after about 10 or so fill ups and some simple math you'll see your true mileage. and i bet a lot of you will be surprised.

My 09 SS/TC can get 30-33 MPG instantaneous on the highway, and that's not for a split second but rather holding it at a constant speed for a few minutes.

In my average daily driving schedule, I get 25-26 MPG on average. By comparison, my 07 Mustang GT w/ TR-3650 manual gets 21-23 MPG in the same driving schedule (only about 25-27 MPG highway) and my 00 Crown Vic gets 17-19 MPG.
