Guys, you do know the HUD is a average right? You cannot use that to gauge short 70 mile trips like that.
I saw 35mpg on my HUD, on E85, for 60 miles. Does that mean I get 35mpg on E85? No.
I'm going to drive down a hill, off the gas and reset the HUD MPG gauge at the beginning and show you guys I get 55mpg.
That would be hella tight yO!
Seriously, stop posting up HUD MPG averages over short distances and start doing the real full tank average math.

I was just using the HUD readings as an example regarding highway-only driving where I see upward of 35+ mpg which is why I reset the HUD at the beginning of my brief trip and used the 70 mile stretch of highway to show my highway cruising only gas mileage example, so it was completely relevant. Doing a 300 mile stint on the highway would still show basically the same results +/- if it was in-fact highway only driving.
Also, it's unfortunate that the odo doesn't show at the same time as the econ. readings, but if you notice the position of my fuel level gauge at the beginning and end of the drive, it is full on both occasions and I promise you I haven't filled up the tank since I left Rockford (though to be honest, it actually clicked down a bar not long after taking that photo, lol). So while the full tank of gas will not last me 437.5 miles (12.5 gal*35mpg) because I did not continue to drive like that until I ran out of gas, for that short period of time, I was definitely seeing a sustained ~35 mpg.

Like this:
207.5 miles driven, on 11.331 gallons of E85 = 18.31mpg
K thanx bye.

I just had a new personal best:
I got 332 miles to the tank.
Filled up with 12.5 gallons. That gave me 26.56 MPG (Mostly highway with a little city/canyon driving)
My previous best was only 288 miles to the tank so I'm pretty happy right now.
This was done with UR test pipe, UR catback, UR Upper & LICP, AEM Intake, Evo X Intercooler, & GST stock boost bill, 91 base map
