All above using the DIC

Fill up was 14.292 Gallons
so my math comes out to 27.406 mpg

I also ran the whole time trying to keep it around 2k RPM.
On the highway that meant I was in 6th and doing 71mph with cruise control.

This next tank I am upping the RPM's to 2.2k...will see what happens.
Next tankfull...
2.2k rpms on the highway @75mph
Mileage....412.5
Avg Speed..48.8
Avg MPG....25.8

Fill up (at same station and pump) 15.565 gallons = 26.5 mpg
Again on 89 octane.

This next tank will be NO CRUISE CONTROL, just going with the flow of traffic.See what happens.

Total miles on car at fill up...3177
