Have you checked your math? Meaning is you mileage accurate? Meaning is the computer set to your tire/gear combo? How are you measuring (not calculating) mileage? Is your odometer correctly registering? Does it need to be adjusted for the tire size?

i have a fully programmable autometer speedo. i have calibrated the speedometer with the mile markers on the highway. last night on the way home they had a radar trailer setup, WOOHOO!! i usually panic, but this time i was glad to see it. my speedo said 63 the sign said i was doing 62. i figure that is pretty close.

must be something wrong with both engine to only run top tens in 8th and lower 9's with lq9 in 8th. my 04 silverado 5.7 stock ran 9.11 in 8th and that was spinning the tires off

Wow 11 mpg? My guzzling carb 350 with an oversized cam in my 1964 Impala got the same mileage
