Default Long Term Gas Milage update

I recently took a trip to mammoth and here are the totals:

Gas Spent: $126.00
Avg $/gal (91): 2.75
Total Gal: 45.81 gal
Total Miles: 865.4 miles

Trip Computer Stats:
Avg MPG: 28.4 mpg
Avg Speed: 39 mph
Total Time: 22:06 hours

Actual MPG= 18.81 mpg

I am using greentop injectors, and that is the reason why my computer is that off. Also, i did some spirited driving and some city driving along with some sprints to high rpm in the upper gears that i am sure guzzled some gas. The total miles from my house to mammoth is 350, so 700 miles round trip...i must have driven about 165 of the extra miles around town both in mammoth and orange county. It was fun btw!

Seems like I am always putting gas in the S4, it needs a bigger tank!

Default I average about 300mi per tank in mixed driving. Solid 21mpg.

Did you perfom the cluster adaptation to get you a bit closer to actual mpg? (I posted on it a while back).

Default I get about 250 miles/tank??? AMS Chip and mixed driving??? Why so low?

I have had my S4 for 3 weeks and have filled up 5 times.

The mileage on this car is terrible if you drive agressively. I want to try to drive one full tank as efficent as possible to see what I can really get out of a it.

I only use Sunoco 94 here in Toronto.

Default I get 275-300 per tank with AMS Stage II, mixed conditions (city/hwy) and spirited driving

My DIS consistently registers 21-22 mpg avg under normal driving (commute to work in stop-and-go traffic, some highway, lots of surface streets, etc) and I get 28+ on the Interstate when traveling cross-country. In fact, driving back to Phoenix from Palm Springs on I-10 in rain 80% of the way, I averaged 78 mph (avg!) and saw 28.2 mpg avg (calculated).

Of course, driving WOT from every stop will kill gas mileage ... on *any* vehicle.
