Some cars have the equipment to give a gas mileage at the moment using fuel
flow rate and speed. I'm wondering if that is where John gets 31mpg with
his Vette or if that includes pulling into filling stations and accelerating
up to speed. My truck doesn't have that feature so my gas mileage includes
starting, stopping, idling, accelerating, a few miles through town plus some
highway miles. I'm guessing the mileage while cruising on the highway is a
good bit better than my 202 mile average of 20.4 mpg.

My old 1982 Chevy K10 (full size 1/2 ton 4x4) with 6.2 diesel averages
20 mpg. With the extra hitches, pipe bumper, cap, crap... it goes 6000
lbs. No computer anywhere to be found, unless my old Garmin
GPSIII is velcroed to the dash

I've been checking the milage on it since it was bought new. Only go on
short runs anymore, so the milage is always tending towards the lower
side. Could get into the low 20's when making long road trips.
