So the other day i was going to work and i had just filled up with gas and reset the MPG meter on my Z when i noticed that i was getting some rediculous MPG... Here is a pic and see for yourself...Can this be real???
yes it is real your z is running on one cylinder only.
I did notice a jump that's about accurate in mine. When I first bought my car in Mar. I'd fill up and it'll say 306miles (in DTE area) and I use to get about 300mi with a full tank. Now, It says almost 415-445. Which coincedentally (sp?) is about right. (off my 10mi) Because I drove to NY and got about 395 per tank, with a little less than a 1/4 left. What do you think happened?

..other than city/highway changes. Because, even now as I drive in the city it still reads over 400 and I'm still getting about the same mileage.
That's because you got the Prius engine swap, right?
I've done this before too with the Z engine in it. There's a downhill curvy highway near my house thats probably 8-9 miles and in 6th gear you just coast (60-70) and can it 99.9. By the time I get off the freeway near home 37 miles later I'm at 34-36 mpg, but it goes down quick once I start going thru the gears.
