I think mine has been as high as 349 or 359, but usually around 330. I drive 50/50 highway/city. Yet I only get 20.5 mpg. I don't know. I think the lower you wait to fill up. (Like 5 miles till empty.) then it gets all that new gas and then it bumps your miles till empty up really high. Atleast that's what happened when I got the above mentioned.

510...sorry thats Canadian miles

Anyone notice if you reset your computer before you fill up, you get better milage? Seems to work for me. Last spring I took the stang on a 2100km and back road trip, at the start I was getting @400kms on a tank and would reset it before each fill. By the end of the trip I was getting about 600kms

i see about 300-330, but i've noticed that mpg is wrong alot. i always reset my trip when i fill up, then i divide the number of gallons it takes the next time to fill up and the computer has always been low by aleast 1mpg. the computer is always about 20.7 and i'm always about 21.5-22.3. i hope that goes up when i get more miles on it.

Isn't that only 23 mpg (377/16) or am I missing something? Sorry this is off topic but what rpm are you shifting at in the quarter mile doodad?
