14.1 Aboout 98% in-city driving. It used to bother me, but I said &*#! it, I drive a corvette, I didn't buy this car to worry about the mileage and drive like a panzy trying to get good mileage.

Z-51, 6 Banger, Halltech Stinger, B&B Route 66....95% driving around town (small town) 25-45 mph speed limits. I do get on it from time to time, sometimes more, sometimes less depending on how busy the local constablary is with traffic checks. 15.3 - 15.7 mpg. If i want better mileage I take the Road King....40 mpg

Mixed Driving - 24
Just got back from a 75 mile round trip from Cottonwood to Flagstaff. This involves 25 miles at 70 mph, the rest at 40 - 45 mph or less, driving up and down Oak Creek Canyon and around town in Flagstaff. Average mpg: 24. And the A/C was on the whole time!

When I top it off after the first click usually I can get in one more gallon in and when I do this I can usually match the computers MPG figures which are lower.
So my figures actually come out 22 mph + and the computers figures are usually around 21 or lower mph.
So I have now 3 entries in my book per fill up: 1. How many gallons I have used for how many miles driven.
2. same as above except I top it off excessively till I can see the top of filler.
3. computer tells me...MPG.
So which one is the correct one out of the 3 ways?
