A New Game to Play

[Horace]

Okay, try this one........

Make sure car is warmed up to normal operating temperature (no cheating)

Fill up to the brim with fuel

Reset the trip computer and set it to display MPG

Nail it out of the garage (if safe obviously)

See what the computers first MPG reading comes back as

I got 7.9 !!

...and if you drive really slowly out of the garage you get a ridiculously high mpg!

I got 99.9 mpg once in my Cup.

All you do is drive along at about 50 mph in fifth gear, come off the throttle, and then reset the trip computer.

Nice

Not really, the car will use more fuel when its in neutral.
