ORIGINAL: el matatan

the car still says 29.5 but when i brought out the calculator it show 28
I don't know how you or anyone else is calculating their mileage, but the proper way is to record your miles with the trip meter, then right down how many gallons it takes to fill the tank back up. So if you went 200 miles since your last fill up and it took 11 gallons to fill it up again. You got 18 mpg.

I did notice a 1.2 mpg increase using 89 octane with the stock tune. I routinely get 26-28 highway to work at 55-60 mph. Although it has been 3 months since I had to fill it. Come on spring!!

Default 30MPG :D

I was driving into Seattle yesterday after filling up at a rest stop, and I glanced down at my dash to see that I was actually gettinig 30mpg since the fillup. (I reset the tripmeter during the fillup)

30MPG over 50 miles, including starting, mostly doing 65-85 mph. There must've been a tailwind or gradual downhill that I didn't notice.

More realistically I get about 26mpg on the highway, 21-22 combined for my mostly-highway driving.

(I'm stock with 3.31 gears)

Calculated mine the other day and got around 19-20. About 80%-20%, city-highway.
