    Pretty much.

    05 GTP stock. Low of 16.0 high of 20.4 and an overall average of 17.9. Mixed city and highway. Car only has a 3 button and does not display mpg. All calculated from miles per tank.

    Currently my truck say I'm getting 13.7, but it's likely a lie haha. More around 11-12 is my guess, I'll know when I fill up later today.

    I've been going off the dic. It's at 20, which is obviously high for this time of year, but remote starting it every morning when that doesn't count against my reading will do that. I'm at about 70% city driving now though, compared to the 90% it used to be

    Filled up and I was right with my previous statement.

    Gas is $1.65 but I use 89 so $1.85, took 21.5 gallons and I did 239 miles so just a hair over 11 mpg lol. Only cost me $40 too.

    I looked at the pump over when I was filling up and someone had bought 101 gallons of diesel fuel for $211, that stuff is $2.08 now.

    lol, porting a blower does nothing.

    You probably fixed a vacuum leak.

    stock 1997 GTP. Get consistently 22.5 mpg as a daily driver on 30-50 m/hr roads to/from work, not many traffic lights, no highways. at fill up with 92 octane that makes my range per the DIC something around 405 miles.

    I ave 25-26 mpg with my 08 freeway commute to work 55 miles each way. 72mph. In the winter I like the remote start and a warm car so it runs 15-20 min in the driveway and parking lot each day. Drops to 21-22 mpg

    Ya sadly our commute is a very hilly back road 38 miles each way so I'm sure that kills it.

    I've found that the factory remote start on my 06 does not count towards gas mileage. I've reset everything after filling up with gas, drive home, and it stops at say 15mpg in my driveway and drops fast as it idles. Remote start it in the morning for 10 minutes and when I put the key in, it's right where it left off the day before and starts dropping again.

    Yes it does not affect the dic. But I hand calculate it every tank and reset the dic every oil change.
