Edge Mileage Max Reports
I guess I'll start this thread dedicated to the Mileage Max. Others that have one post up your results. My first tank was very disappointing. I used the overhead odometer to calculate. Before mods, all stock I got 16.3 (hand calc'd) on my last tank. City/Highway/Idle After mods and new 285/70 Michelins I got 14.3 (hand calc'd)!!! Terrible. City/Highway/Idle Could the new tires have thrown off the overhead odometer that much??? The overhead "lyometer" was higher than normal. 14.3 is just not gonna cut it!!! Are there any other factors that could have contributed to the piss poor mileage???

Overhead is always off. Best to do odometer/gal. to fill.

my overhead ODO matches my dash ODO....I am pretty sure the info is the same. The AVG fuel economy is another matter....

multiply your miles for that specific tank of gas by 1.035....then divide by the amount of gas you used to fill the tank....
