Default What does your DIC report as average gas mileage?

I hover right on 20mpg here. I can't keep my foot out of it and I cruise quite a bit in the city. <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

On a trip I do 32. :thumbup:

25-27 during my normal drive.

31-33 if i reset before a long highway drive. I averaged 31 for two tanks in a row during a road trip this spring.

A friend of mine in his 2000 C-5 Katech 382 stroker with stage 3 heads and a 3.42 gear along with a SY3500 conver. got 27.5 on a 180 mile trip to the drag strip where he ran a 11.32 at 121+mph. This was cruising a little above the speed limit at times also <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

22.5 - 22.9 around town if I dont do any long-term idling.

31.9 From Austin Texas west to LA, then up PCH 1 to 101 and then to Portland Oregon. (roof off most of the time and a 181 mph top speed investigation included <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0"> ) <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />
