your actual gas mileage to your DIS readout? The DIS seems to be a bit high to me. Is it just mine?

Mine is low... But there are a lot of changes on my motor that may affect things.

I've checked mine twice - once it was a little low (about .7mpg) and the other time it was exactly the same...

Mine is pretty close, except that my car doesn't have a DIS. It does have a DIC (Driver Information Center).

Default Dic
Mine will indicate about 26mpg at 75(a shade over2000rpm with the 3.15 gear). Doing the math after fill up figures about 28.5, all stock with the Firestone RF at about 36#.... I'm happy......
