    Default so i'm trying something a little different...

    so this time around, i'm trying my damndest to keep my foot out of the throttle unless absolutely nessessary, and with about 50/50 city/hwy driving i'm sitting at about 18.2 mpg's... not bad for a heavy ass car with a big v8!

    lol, its hard, ive seen above 17 for a few days, i usually hover around 16.2-16.6...going on a few road trips over the next few months though so ill get to see what it looks like on the highway

    commerce is the furthest the car has seen highway wise and i saw 20-21avg...hopefully traveling a little further will yield higher #'s

    Weird... my "avg" shows 22 on my gauges but manual calculations about 2 months ago showed 24 across the entire tank.

    Maybe you need teh re tune.

    Try out www.cleanmpg.com

    Whenever the server isn't bombarded, it has some great tips and tricks to up your MPG. Mostly common things people just don't do that can up your MPG.
