Please use the template below.

If you are driving down the highway and hit reset on your computer then say I am geting 18.2MPG with a 40% highway and 60% city you are not helping. That would be 100% highway in that case. Try to post based on burning full tank of fuel, in other words reset your overhead at fill up and run almost the entire tank. This way computer MPGs can be compared to hand calcs.

If we follow the template and basic rules this can be a very informative post. If not it will just end up being BS.
