Ditto on the "huh?"
You have a JLT. Does that mean you have a tune? Were you running an 87 ustom tune with 93 octane? Was that 315 miles on 11.5 gallons? If so, then you got 27.39 MPG. Isn't taht about normal highway for a V6?. And where are the other 10-20 data points to compare to whatever else you didn't post?
You gotta love people that base fuel consumption on 1 f**kin' data point. Get real. You can drive the same exact 400 mile stretch of road 20 times the same frickin' way and still get variances on 10% or more.
FAIL!

I'm still trying to figure out how you derive mpg from the speedometer. You just drive until the the speedo wont go past "0", then you know the tank is empty?

FYI, the typical on-board is off conservatively by about 1-2 MPG. Not everyone but definitaly the vast majority. You need to hand calculate your fuel mileage to get an accurate figure.
Have you verified your speedometer with a GPS? I'm tempted to say that your speedometer is off, too, compounding the problem. And if it IS off, then hand calculating won't yield accurate results since the odometer would be off, too.
