Default Beleive it or not last night I broke the 30 mpg barrier!:)

Over a 160 mile trip I averaged 29 mpg! I was really surprised what an effect the S-Flo could make. I was averaging 60-70 mph in stock mode with pretty much non stop traffic. Prove is shown below

Trip comp. avg reading...

Trip comp. displaying miles left having in mind that when I filled up I reset the trip mileage. Hence, the total range would be 465 + 73.5 = 538.5 miles!!

Default everyone here will tell you your trip computer is wrong-- but i believe you!

I consistently get over 30 mpg on my 200 mile trek between home and school. My trip computer is always within .5 mpg of my pump calculations.

Default Isn't it more of a short-ram system? (as opposed to a true CAI.)

I like the new sig BTW
