It works off of the amount of pulses the injectors are making and not real time data. Your 1000cc's are spitting tons more fuel per pulse than the stockers.

FYI. I was getting 12mpg in town with E85 in my 350z. I cant imagine this car is that much more fuel efficient. Even on 91 octane I am getting 18 mpg in town with my 370 and 22 on the highway.
I was shocked myself. I am pretty sure everyone knows the readout is useless once you change injector size. I used the trip odometer and full tank to full tank minus fill to determine this.

A little more detail:

I had a 2gal gas tank with me, filled half way.

Whole trip was 393 miles, of that:
*~50 in traffic, literally 2 hrs of traffic: avg speed 25mph
*~30-50miles in 2-4th gear, usually about 10psi. This was the San Luis Resevoir/152 gilroy approach. Real fun drive, can get into it, turn and all that. RADAR DETECTOR A MUST, but very easy run, meaning you can go apeshit on throttle

At refill i put in 18.4 gal, meaning I used 18.4+2 to go from full to full, therefore i used 20.4 gal for a 393 mile trip.(Don't mind me, I typed this out *** backwards earlier)

393/20.4= 19.3 mpg. Now I am saying highway avg speed 70, I wouldnt be surprised to get more, hence the claim. But 19.3 is amazing. I was expecting 12-15 at best. Mind you, this is the first outing with a brand new TT installed, so one can assume I am not driving for MPG and you would be right. IF i tried, it would be pretty neat.

I am going to say that my tune and fuel setup are doing a great job. But to say everyone would expect 20+ is a lie, but apparently this car is there. Remember, it was cool and clear last night, so may be a best case scenario, but this is what I got for the trip.

Lets not get caught up in MPG, the car rapes apes. I merely mention it because alot of us are going e85 and I wanted to share how I feel about it so far. Just took it to the bank. OEM DD capable indeed! It is moist out, but I managed

The CJM kit is holding up perfect. Those sexy blue rails, Fuel Pressure is rock solid and the car pulls smooth from 0-7000. Seb's tune is amazing thus far, the man knows how to do e85 and am happy to have his tune on this thing.
