Gas Mileage.

Well last week, a friend of mine and myself took a trip out to Orlando for my birthday week. There is test I like to do with my cars to see how many miles I can go on a full tank of gas w/o stopping. I don't know if you guys have done this but its very interesting. Well from filling the tank in Conyers, GA. and driving straight with making only one stop about half way down the 6.5 hr drive, I had sweat coming down once I reached my destination in Orlando FL right across the street from where we were staying. I did exactly 450.00 miles on the dot. Pretty impressive in my opinion.

Sorry these pictures came out a little blurry and so big.

Yeah my normal everyday driving is about 310-345 which is good cuz before I got the UTEC, I was getting around 260-280 and that was horrible.

Actually using Exxon premium over any other gas company seems to help my car's mileage a lot. I get like ~325 MAX with Sunoco or any other one. Had the best results with Exxon or Shell

It's been said that the Shell V-Power is the best as far as gas brands go readily available everywhere.

Some of us went to IOC that one morning to speak with Gary and a guy that was an expert in oil that worked with BG I believe enforced the same thought.

It is also good to use BG products in your tank every now and then. I think its worth the piece of mind... esp. the BG 44K to remove engine deposits but that could just be me. Supposedly they give an increase of gas mileage as well but I haven't gotten any and have used them for the past 10K or so. It is supposed to maximize fuel economy though.

The g37 has a huge gas tank at 20 gallons so 480 miles is about its range on freeway miles
