Just get on the highway, cruise at 65 mph or something and reset your average fuel economy counter. Voila!

Yeah this aint to hard to do or believe. I get 27.4 stock and thats cruising right at 70. So yeah 65 and 55 is gonna really throw you up. Go 70 and then report back what you get.

The next time I'm doing some longer highway driving I'll make sure to top off, drive a ways, read the mileage and top off again and do the numbers myself. |

In addition, if you go with bigger wheels/tires, and your actual diameter changes, then you have to add the percentage to the mpgs. So, if your total diameter goes up 10%, add 10% to your speed, milage, and fuel milage

I'm not too terribly worried about my mileage being wrong if it's in fact wrong due to tune, injector size, etc... It's just a neat picture.. If it's not accurate, then so be it.. I don't drive it every day. |

Most people tune for that so the computer already accounts for it.

This is the ONLY way to do it accurately, I bet that number your dash gave you will drop by about 20%
