go down to the fuel part...
your computer shows 232 as full stop. That means you cannot put anymore fuel in the
car that the computer can recognize. So what your computer sees (232), your fuel
take is at 15.7 gallons...Full to the rim.
So, if the computer see's my gas level at 82, then that's a little under 1/4 of a tank, leaving me a little over 5 gallons in my tank...meaning, i burned over 10 gallons. so yes, i did get 33mpg.
can anyone else see the reasoning in this??
Sorry dude, that's not how it works. Just because the computer shows 232, that doesn't mean it's 15.7 gallons. When my tank shows 1/2 tank, on the guage or 138 (1/2) on the computer, it isn't necessarily 1/2 of 15.7. That's just what it reads. We all know that they are inaccurate. That's why the only way to calculate mileage accuratly is to divide the miles traveled by the number of gallons used.
So....you wanna know what you really got? How many miles did you go? Divide that by the number of gallons it took to fill it.
