Impressive MPG
i consistently get ~320 miles per tank. The computer says i get ~17.x miles per gallon. On long trips (I drive to houston often, ~5 hours) i get somewhere between 360-400 miles and i know i can do better b/c it reads i get like 20-22mpg, but if i went SLOW ~50-60 it would say i get like 25mpg...

I got just over 18 on my last tank, 2300 miles on the odo! Traffic will kill your mpg, I don't care what you drive!

The computer reads around 335 on a full tank... my break in period just past and its still doing pretty well... it reads around 180-200ish when the gauge shows half. =O

It has been getting better which actually surprised me. I figured that would not be possible with the use of the winter blend fuels right now.
EDIT: Not sure if this helped or not but I cutover to Amsoil at around 2700 miles.
New observation on the MPG, today I did a small road trip here on the state, on the return, I reset the MPG/MPH screen as I got on the Interstate, when I exited the Interstate 70 miles later, the screen read 26.8 MPG/74.3 MPH, that's pretty good IMO!
I have noticed Tires make a difference as well. On the stock sport 18" summer tires (I forget what they are...) I was getting around 23 in the city and 26 @ 70 on highways (I hit 29 MPGs 3 times coming back from SAV going about 65... no
).
On a side note, I do have a 6MT, which helps MPGs (that and I drive a manual).
At the beginning of Dec, I switched over to GY Eagle F1 AS tires (same staggered sizes fronts 225/50/18 rears 245/45/18). Since then I am only getting about 20 in the city (no change in driving style) and 23 on the highway @70-80++ (because I can't keep my darn foot off the gas
)

lol i cant wait to get my g and get possibly 300 miles per tank. Currently im driving a supercharged buick regal and im lucky if i can get 100 miles out of a tank. But of course its hard to stay out of boost haha.
Ok i have a US car but i have set my computer etc to L and KMs and according to my fuel info on the nav screen which I reset almost everytime I get a new tank of gas, is around 15km/L which if googling gives me the right info should be about 35mpg ??
But according to what I have read here, that doesnt seem right?
But I do get more than 500km on a tank of gas, from Ottawa to Toronto is already close to that and I have a few bars or gas left when I get there...

i actually checked the fuel efficiency and its 15L/100km. At its best. City driving nets me 19-20L/100KM. Google says thats 15.6809723 miles per gallon. So thats bad? lol I am guessing. Saying the gas tank is 75L that nets about 500KM at its best, which is 310 miles.
