Also, the computer, as many have pointed out, is only an estimate. The only true way to determine mileage is the old-fashioned way. Fill the tank to full, drive a known amount of miles, fill the tank to full again and then divide the number of miles driven by the gallons just filled.

Don't forget, c410006, there are no points for second palce.
All I know is I can get the computer to consistently say 28 - 30 mpg on the highway with 93 octane

onzedge, your alot brighter than you look
