The only time I tested was on the highway shortly after I got it. It was about 22mpg. Granted I was doing about 78 and going in and out of construction so I was accelerating quite a bit. (f***ing Detroit).

Check his sig. It says he owns an SS. Plus he posted pics of his car last week so I am sure It is an SS..

Picked mine up this afternoon. 1 SS Auto 10 miles on the car. Going home 25 mpg is no problem on interstate. Country roads and small town combination included 22.3 total for 60 mile trip home.

I do so much 0-50-0 around the detroit area my mileage is probably horrible. I'll try to do a "true" test on the highway this weekend.

The computer's actually really accurate in my car. It measures live-feed and calculates the mpgs in real-time. I do the technique you mentioned every time I fill up, and the computer only tends to underestimate by 1 mpg if any...

If the computer in my car says it used 12.8 gallons since the last fill-up, that's exactly what it will take when I pump gas into it. And whatever it says the mpg is, it's always exactly correct. I checked it a couple times early on because it was the first car I ever had that calculated those things, but I stopped checking when I realized it was never off at all. Those calculations are child's play for computers.

07 G5 GT with 98k miles on it is pretty much nuts on every fill up.
