    If this picture is showing a speed/RPM ratio, are you on stock tire size? Ultragauge calibrated? Speed will probably be off by 2-10 MPH depending on tire size at highway speed.

    Not accurate. Last tank was 17.5 (unadjusted for tire size). But that was driving like grandpa during gear break in.

    Historically I'm 13-14mpg

    Calibrated by distance travelled to compensate for tires and show correct mph. I run 255/85/16.

    I am slightly above that (14.7ish) and have a supercharger. Not sure how yours is worse. Before the SC I was hovering at around 16.9.
    Yep. Unless the UG has been recalibrated and/or they have used a speedo recalibration utility, I would take the numbers with a grain of salt. Granted though, if they are both running 4.56 with 255/85/16s, I would assume them to be pretty similar.

    From now on will be the test. But I don't use the UG mpg or distance gauges because I haven't calibrated them. I also have an UG Blue

    Now that my transmission has learned my driving, I have to be in the pedal to keep those 35s rolling. I'm getting about 12.9 now

    295s with stock gearing and SC the BD has me at 14 mpg with corrected speedo. I always do it the old fashioned way(pen/paper) and average about 13.2(also corrected for speedo error)
