That has to be taken with a grain of salt. Drive it for the next 1000 miles without resetting it, then get back to us with an update.

I'm sorry. And you're coming off as thin skinned as a cottontail rabbit. Unless you're an outdoorsman , you may not know but you just rip off the hide to clean them, no knives etc; hence the simile.... My man was busting on me for me screwing up the initial post and i was doing the same all in good fun. Get your post count up when you realize these things and get back to us. Enjoy your day

Only one way to find out for sure. Try it and see. Or at the very least run 2-3 tankfulls through it without resetting it, or better yet check it manually over a few tank fulls and then average mileage you traveled with the total gallons and see what you come up with. Only way you're going to get a true idea of the mileage you're getting. Resetting it constantly and going by what you get on 20-30-40 mile trips is not going to be an accurate representation.

That post was not even to you bud, but okay. Congrats on getting your computer to read a good number. If I did 55 for 20 miles it would say 38, so "eat your heart out" I guess?

No one drives like that. Also, no need to get butthurt that I was poking fun at you uploading the wrong picture =/

Not butt hurt at all brother. I acknowledged that in a post that it was all good fun between you and me. Sorry you thought otherwise.

No argument there Blow. Nothing empirical about this data other than saying a tuned 5.0 mustang GT can get 29-31 mpg with the cruise control set at 55-58 mph on a 22 mile trip. However, logic will conclude that the same would be true given the same conditions on a million mile trip.

With regular driving, the car gets 25-26 mpg; stop & go etc. With spirited driving, 23 mpg.

Empirical evidence has proven that The Steeda 93 tune/ cai and base 4 synthetic oil had made the car significantly more efficient than stock.

I disagree. Everyone I've talked says that a tune makes the car only want to go fast mpg be damned. I believe the tune also makes the car whisper to you to go faster and the gas pedal gets heavier. These are just my observations.
