well one thing worth mentioning is it said like 15.8 three days ago, now the last three days Ive had final exams. Last day of classes was last weds so mom and I moved all my home then, and I drove up for the finals. Each day, 30 min there, 30 min back, 90% highway at 55-65 mph. Its now at 18.9.
The one thing that makes the meter a little inaccurate is if you're in accessory mode, switch cranked forward just before you turn it to fire 'er up, and the dash is all lit up, the meter takes readings of 0.0!!! So you watch your avg MPG reading go down and she's not burnin any! :hick:
So for that reason I want to do the calculations with my trip-odo. etc. to verify it. But we'll see, I've watched you post about your amazing gas mileage and I sit here wondering why mine's so poor. Makes me wonder if everything went right. That 0-60 time I got sways me the other way though, I guess I really need to find a dyno and get the real #s to be sure. Whatev doesnt really matter that much I guess Ive driven the thing for just about 2 years and I've put 6000 miles on it. :D So $5/gal gas? Bring it on I say.
