No it's just your "trusty" only-the-computer-could-possibly-be-accurate-and-any-other-method sucks

You are possibly the first person in the world to have claimed more accurate mpg calculations than a computer. Kudos

Now you're just being a complete ***. I already told you the computer read 34 too. It's not hard to get 34 in a Maxima. It is possible to be more accurate than a computer that has limited memory and averages MPG every 30-60 seconds.

Why do you rely on the computer so much? Why do you have such little faith in the more simpler method... miles driven divided miles filled.

Everyone knows the best way to calculate MPG is to just record the miles you traveled and how much it took to fill up your tank back up to 'full'

But you're just be a ****ing *** wipe on purpose

Perhaps you didn't read everything I wrote earlier. I already said -- "But of course, if you are happy with your calculations, you don't need to care what I say."

Also I sent you kudos on figuring out a more accurate method of measuring mpg than a computer.

I am truly impressed, both by your expertise in calculations and by your max's mpg. I really do not know what else I can say or do to make you happy.

Your sarcastic and condescending asinine approach to portraying your thoughts is quite unappreciated. You don't have to belittle me and that is what pissed me off. I think it's quite obvious you used a sarcastic tone and I don't know who the hell will be able to tell if you're being straightforward and sincere or just a typical internet-jerk. My guess is the latter.

Now, that's funny. I meant gallons.

Haha, easy guys. No need to get all worked up.

I think everyone already got each side of the story.

Agreed. I've getting 21.6 mixed driving. Best mpg was 32+mpg on weekend trip to Colorado Springs (minimal in city driving in the Springs) and then back to Thornon.

Don't let bb700092 see you got over 30 mpg. He claims that is impossible and that anything other than what the computer says is wrong.

Still waiting impatiently for your 34.x mpg photo.

BTW, don't forget to apply for this year's Turing Award. It surely is yours for inventing a more accurate way of calculating mpg than a computer
