What happened to my camaro....
okay, trust me when i say I know my milage really well...
Recently since the install of my nitrous, my milage has been terrible. Before nitrous it was 18 mpg in the city, 32-33 out of the highway... WELLLLL... I drove out to the track yesterday (This wasnt the first time driving out there) its about 130 km drive. 1st time, driving 100 km/h I got there and it was 27.8 mpg (Its lowered since nitrous install) I DID NOTTTT drive the track. going back from track i got 28. Yesterday going out there I got 28 mpg again. THIS TIME i ran at the track 4 times.... It was fun.... Now here is the weird thing... I didnt reset my milage this time.... about 30 km into going home I wanted to check the milage just to see if it shot down super low since i raced.... it was at 34 mpg... I was like "How the heck did it go up..." So I reset it.... I got 42.6 mpg.... I was so confused.... I figured "It must have been just luck or something stupid" I reset it, drove back to the track once I got back to down and kept track of the milage. 43 miles to the gallon. what.... happened I didnt touch the car at the track.... did I bust something? I decided to ONCE AGAIN.... try the milage out in the city this time.... Like i said i usually get 18 mpg... This time? 24 mpg... What happened... I only drive to work and back... like I said the past few monthes I have been recording my milage every gas tank.... Is something broken?

Reset your Trip A odometer and do your own mpg math. Then you'll know exactly what your fuel efficiency is, without using the computer to calculate and extrapolate/speculate.

That is a good idea, I assume I should do that on a full tank?

That being said, I have been keeping track for about 6 monthes and my car is pretty accurate when it comes to the same readings. That is what is weird, i mean I will do what you said but the numbers should not have shot that far apart in one day.... something actually happened.... and im wondering what...
