I don't know, but I did fill my gas tank with 19.86 gallons of gas before. Do I win anything?

I'm getting about 100 miles per tank! I think that may be a record!

Those are re-runs mate... thats an old Top Gear, lol, several seasons ago.

And the Bugatti Veyron, empties its entire tank in 12 minutes at 250 MPH or so...

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.

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.
