Furthermore, even if the number is off, the relative numbers will be good for comparisons sake. So just go with it, I say. I didn't even calibrate mine, I just used a number from someone else and it's always been dead accurate.

Can we agree that this is true for both ways.

I just think to get the most accurate data. You need to empty the fuel tank and fuel lines. On a EFI car this can be done very easy. I do it all the time from a E85 fill to pump premium fill. Then put in 10 gallons of fuel and run it until its out of gas. Check you mileage. Have a 3 gallon container of fuel in your trunk and go home.

Ben I'm just very frustrated right now. I'm confused on what happen. I did three back to back test the same way and now this. Its got me baffled. I know that the car like all the mods but I have no idea what it just did in mileage.
