39mpg in city driving and heavy boost runs. Ofcourse it's BS thanks to the larger injectors the ECU doesn't know about

is that resetting it at every fill up? If so, that's insane. I drive city around tampa and get around 17 if I'm lucky!

At each fillup, I 1) reset the computer and 2) calculate the actual MPG. To my surprise, the computer is extremely accurate. BTW, I consistantly average 22.5-23.5, mixed city/hwy.

I have noticed that the display that tells you how many miles you can expect to go with the amount of fuel you have left, is really accurate.

Typically ~23 mpg on the trip computer. From my calculations, the trip computer is usually 0-1 mpg too high, but usually closer to say 0.6 mpg off.

My commute is ~2/3rd highway by time.
