Wow, how did you manage that? I can get 300 miles on a full tank if I drive mostly freeway.

Here you can see my fuel gauge and trip gauge, this was right after i went NA-T with mostly highway driving, i think i could have squeezed 500 out of it if i wanted to.

Last tank I pulled out 270 out of 14.5 gallons. sc400 stock. Although I think a lot of my problems could be the previous owner told me he never really used premium

LOL no it was on a trip which i will admit was mostly highway driving running 70-80 mph and not boosting. It was reset at the gas station when i filled it up and thats what it said when i stopped to eat and use the bathroom, i was gonna try and see if i could set an SC record and hit 500 since the gas light wasnt even on yet but i went ahead and added gas since i stopped anyway and i don't like running it too low incase it sucks dirt out the bottom of the tank. On that trip my MPG gauge although probably not 100% accurate read i averaged 28.7 MPG (see attached pic) but usually on everyday use it says i average around 25 mpg, either way its pretty damn good if i keep my foot out of it.
It looks like i might have some of the highest fuel milage on the forum, even boosted!!!

INEEDANSC3: Daym, thats really good... I'd have to take a long trip to see how mine does .... nfordhk is about right. I think mine is about 270-300 on a full tank mostly surface streets. That clunker website says I should get 19mpg tho. If his calculations are right then damnnnnn. I guess i'm just getting 14 -17mpg as well on a 16gal fill-up. I guess time to do some major tuneups.

what engine management are you using ineedansc3? depending on how it is setup, the fuel milage guage could be incorrect.
