Fuel Economy

So, just cause I thought this was crazy, I decided to share. I don't really use my nav except for the fun fuel economy stuff and last Friday I caught something I thought I'd never see before.



and then driving a little bit further, I got this...



Now, I've gotten 27 mpg highway in this little bad boy of mine a couple years back, but never thought I'd ever actually see a number above 30!

2nd only by 3hp in power, best air/fuel curve in the group, and some damn good fuel economy... what a mix!

I was in FW at the time. I had filled up in Addison before I left. So, that was about 40 to 50 miles after filling up. And no, my GF took the pics.

actually, i've watched my fuel economy quite a bit and the faster I go, the better gas mileage i get... i was doing about 80 most of that drive... the 27 mpg i got a while back in a big road trip was an avg of 75, but that was a few mods ago...

As long as you completely fill up and reset your trip and completely fill up again then just divide miles by gallons, you can't get much more accurate then that.
