Fuel mileage

So, i now have about 200 miles on the supercharger install. I took it out today for a nice long leisurely drive. About 80 miles. Mostly 45-60 mph roads some hills, nothing major. About 10 miles highway and about 15 minutes city. When i left the house i was at 26.5 mpg. Last night i took a buddy for a ride and had done a few short pulls 2nd and 3rd. Today i only wot a few times and very briefly. By the time i got home i was at 32.8 mpg.... seriously... i'm blown away.

I'm reading between the lines here...
Your tuner "might" have overlooked scaling the one table for your new fuel injectors. I had done this to my own car and it was getting like 40+ MPG, which I knew wasn't right.
Try the old method -- fill up, record mileage, drive, fill up again and then calculate Miles/gallons (MPG)

Yes, i will. But i went 80 miles and used 1/4 tank so it doesn't seem horribly off.

80 miles and 4.5 gallons = 17.777 MPG.

Like said you can't believe what you see on that until quite a distance. If I reset mine on the highway it says 41mpg for a long time. lol

You are not getting 32 MPG. My non-supercharged LS3 is lucky to get 23.

Yea, think my computer is way off lol. I dunno why i was thinking the tank was 12 gallons. I got excited, wishful thinking lol. I think it's getting about the same as before the charger though which isn't bad. Haven't driven it enough to do the real math yet. I have a different pulley to put on still and a dynotune

I get 24 mpg on a trip using 6th gear mostly with my setup below. Driving locally I get about 20 mpg. My 2017 Silverado locally gets 20 mpg with the 5.3 liter V8.
