Default A remarkable MPG

I saw this mpg driving on I-95 somewhere in Connecticut. Never, ever seen it this high. At this rate I have a theoretical range of 492 miles. Take that Diesels.

Very nice. I bet it's at least over 20 at that moment.

I wish my MPG readout worked anymore. My MAP reads different pressures in the manifold now since it's a much bigger manifold, with an 84mm throttle body and such, so the MPG gauge doesn't know what to think. Sometimes it reads 30mpg and slowly settles to an optimistic 17mpg, but hand calculations are 2 or 3 less lol.

I had to keep it under 60mph. The winter grade fuel definitely makes a difference. At the most I am in the high 19s in the summer
