Finished off the first tank of premium in our shop development truck.
Driving home from the dealer ship, 92 miles, I got 31.5 on the dash. After that it's had a rough start to it's life.
The truck went directly onto the dyno for baseline runs, then the guys here took it out and ran it hard. We built the catch cans and air intakes, it went back on the dyno to verify power increases, I pulled my over landing trailer with it and beat on it quite a bit myself. Yesterday my wife and I spent 3-4 hours in it driving back roads.
By the time all this went down, the dash displayed 25.2 mpg. I filled the tank and did the division on the calculator and came up with 22.84 mpg.
This is typical, the computer doesn't do well with towing/wot runs and calculating, I've never seen a car that does.
I will be making a long trip tomorrow, my current dash reading is 32.9 after about a 60 mile drive home from the first fill up.
I'll update here tomorrow after filling and highway miles on this current tank.
BTW, this is all on 93 octane, that's all I'm running for now because of the parts development for the truck we are doing. I will eventually switch to 87 once I get my hands on the tuning software.
