If you use only small sets of data to generate the MPG rating (i.e. resetting it too much) the data will of course skew in one direction or another until enough data is present to make it a valid calculation.

I hope that was clear enough, i always have trouble relating highly technical things, but computers and programming are what I do.

I have posted in the past that I can get 29 + MPG when traveling to work and resetting everything on the computer as I get on the highway. I set the cruise at 70 MPH and travel exactly 25 miles. I feel the computer is very accurate when doing this type of mileage checking. I am now convinced of this since I just traveled 322 miles almost all highway. I Filled the tank and got on the highway within half a mile. I traveled to the other side of the State and back for a graduation party. Set the cruise at 70 MPH. The last 10 miles were not on the highway.

I did a little hot rodding when I got there to show my Camaro to my relatives. Total MPG was 29.3 Took only 11 gallons for the trip. So is the computer accurate. It is in my book.

Does the V6 Camaro get GREAT mileage? You bet it does.

Way to go GM.
