My DIC usually settles in at 22.5 going back and fourth to work (25 miles of gridlock), then 30-32 hwy.
....same here...

Although I was having major mpg issue with my gt at one point, down around 17.4. o2 sensors or pcv or bad fuel filter...changed 'em all and the problem stayed. [/b][/quote]
i hate it when my dic settles..... LMAO i can never get over that

If my "DIC" settled in at 22.5", I'd be in the movie business!

driving out to ohio last week i got 36 mpg!!!
Hate to rain on your parade Steve but with those 57lb injectors there's no way you're seeing that kind of mileage in reality. My DIC shows I'm getting 26.5 driving around town...when I actually do the calculations for miles and how many gallons I've used its closer to 16mpg :angry: The DIC uses IPW to calc MPG and with larger injectors the pulse width is much shorter which fools the DIC into thinking you're doing better than you really are.

Hrm....since I'm in a Blazer...I dont have a DIC...but I get about 253 to 289 miles per tank....17 gallons to a tank...so around 14.8 to 17 mpg if I figured it right....and thats mostly highway and a little city. I was actually shocked to hell when I got 309 miles to a tank last week...I hadn't hit that many mpg with this engine yet. On the old one I got consistant 359-365 miles per tank. :)
