Default Mpg???

Sorry if it's been done. But what's the best MPG you've ever had? I did 15.8 mpg yesterday after driving mostly highways. The trip took 24 miles and here was the result, it was 16.1 mpg but I took too long to take the pic. Also, excuse the cell phone pic.

Fuel up as far as you can and run that tank under normal conditions weather it's on hwy or city conditions. Wait tell about 1/4 tank and refill. Get you mileage driving and divide it into the amount of gallons used. You want to do this a few times in the category to get a overall amount. For instance if you drove 189.6 miles divided into 12 gallons used you get 15.8 miles per gallon. 189.6 / 12 = 15.8....... Now you have to compare apples to apples so stay with the same fuel octane and establishment.

For instance I average 15.4 to 15.8 MPG on the hwy using 85 octane and use Maverick fuel running 70-80 MPH average.

City is same fuel and octane and average 11.4 to 13.5 MGP's depending if I can keep my foot out of it......LOL

Now the higher the octane the slower the burn so expect little MPG increases as well as performance. I really like Chevron fuel for the smothest ride and gas mileage. I always fill up using 91 (the best at this altitude) octane before I tow and during for increased power and performance. I NEVER use cleaners or boosters.
