If you believe my crazy speedometer that reads high. I get 150+ avg, but I don't believe that.

Before it went crazy it was around 26mpg on average.

Try resetting it. Mine was really low. I reset on the tollway. Was at 13 on highway, now at 22 or 23mpg.

Good idea, but with the LS swap the fuel info does not work. I was using a calculator for the mpg. Fill the tank full at every fill up note miles, and galled then miles/gallons.

As for why it was that high. It has been reading ~200mph most of the time when really driving ~70mph. It would record over 1500+ miles on ~10 gallons of 91.

Then I would just do it the old school way. LS swap in a C4
