Took a road trip out to Oswego a few days ago. I actually made it up to 31 MPG but didn’t take the pic.

I got 32 average when I drove to CT and back. Picked up my tranny and converter from my first builder. Yes… I put a 4L60e and a torque converter in the back of the vette. Lol

No offense, but those digital displays are known to be 3-4 mpg off.
Still insanity.

Yeah the only way to get a pretty accurate mpg reading is to have your tank topped off so you can see gas in the filler neck (Which is bad to do on some cars) and drive a known measured distance. Then re fill your tank to the filler neck and calculate.

Or I will let a computer in my car calculate how much fuel was used in whatever distance I drove to come up with a number that is just as accurate as me doing in manually since there are always enough variable to make the calculations +/- 1-2MPG.
But that is not the point of this thread…

WTF how does that work? does it need a fuel level sending unit and an odo sensor too?
EDIT wait… is this a joke that went flying over my head right now?

or just fill ur tank till it clicks, instead of trying to get in the filler neck (wtf), drive till u need to fill up again, fill to it clicks again, divide miles driven by gallons u put in.

i took the GTO to oakridge NJ last night, doing 70mph i was averaging 25mpg, 400hp, 4000lb car. verified it by the trip vs gas pumped to refill.
the long 6th gears in the LSx cars help out alot.
