For the conversation about gas mileage, why don't you fill up all the way and then reset your trip on your odometer, then the next time you fill up be it at 1/2 or 1/4 or less, divide how far you went (on your trip) by many gallons you put in and abra ka dabra you'll have your gas mileage.

I was getting about 19 before the 31s now I get around 16-17

Thank you... I don't understand why people need a mileage app to divide for them.

I'm getting 15mpg average in open loop with my IAT unplugged. 300mi per tank.

By the way, this may sound very stupid but how do you guys calculate your MPG? I hear of people saying they get 17MPG, I don't see how thats possible as I believe i'm only getting 9-10. Do you guys run it to empty, fill it up and run it back down to Empty? Or is there a better/cheaper way.
I get between 16-18. I changed my speedo gear so mine is accurate. I did a tune up and new O2 sensors. Those were the biggest help to my fuel economy. I also don't drive over 65 most of the time.

That will work but if you fill it up all the way both times youll get a more average reading because youve driven a lot mode miles.
