What do you actually get when you add it up manually?
MPG calcs can get all screwed up with tune. Mine shows 2x reality.. so mine shows like 600+ miles per tank on a full tank now
(I'm assuming you were going by DIC with those #'s.. if they are actual then they are low)

2006+ have a fuel density table that can be used to get the DIC to display more accurately. Most tuners don't mess with it though

I've been getting about 25-26 mpg with mine lately. That's probably a 90/10 hwy/city split from my commute. In general, I used to get about 2 mpg better when it was stock on the same driving loop, but I do drive it a lot harder after the exhaust and blower.
It's a stock ls3/a6, v3si, catless 1 7/8 headers, corsa extreme exhaust, alkycontrol (I run 50/50, and it's not really cranked up all that much), 65# injectors, a BAP, and a tune.
