This would be why you need to hand calculate your mileage....This was about an 80 mile trip cruising at 80-90mph.Screw that I'm gettin 53.7mpg.

Hahaha. Judging by the fuel gauge I'm guessing when I hand calculate I'll get my usual 15-17mpg.

This was about 60 miles into it when I got stopped behind an accident.

This was after I finally got pulled in the driveway.

lol wow. that's dumb
do you think it's your tune that's messing with that part of the computer or what?

Yeah. The way it figures out MPG is based off how much throttle you are giving it. I just loaded up another tune and the throttle is super touchy. It has a lot of fuel at little throttle. Going down the highway it was like I wasn't even on it. And I was close, hand calculated it was 16.4.
