There ought to be a TSIB or a recall or something.

Installed a Flux Capacitor. All I need to get that kind of fuel economy is to drive 88 mph.

So 3.27 gallons got you 86 miles? Is that what you meant? That's 26.3mpg if my calculator isn't wrong...

I rarely get more than 25mpg out of a tank, and that's with snow mode on and 80% highway driving.

Well basically after filling up thats what I got, I only added about 3 gallons of gas so yeah I did the calculations as well and got 29MPG does this mean I really needed to reset the computer at every fill-up cause that would mean that I didn't not change much! ps this was with sport mode and going about 70-75MPH not that heavy
