I got some special magnets for my fuel line and I am now getting 50 miles per gallon

Actually I am getting about 24 miles to the gallon, I did once hit 30 miles per gallon on a trip but I was driving pretty slowly. I noticed a big difference when I am driving 75mph vs 65mph.

The miles per gallon calculated per tankful usually isn't a real accurate indicator of the overall mpg that your car gets. Generally it is much more accurate to measure it over time in order to minimize the variances such as traffic, driving conditions, load, weather and etc.

I have kept a record of every drop of gas that has gone into my car from the day I took it home with 7 miles on the odometer on August 12, 2002. In 30,871 miles I've gotten an average of 22.66 miles per gallon. My best tankful was 34.87 and my worst was 18.57. In general my driving is mixed of about 60% highway/US Highway 40% traffic & commute. My best tankful happened on an extended highway drive going to an S2000 meet and my worst tankful happened during a drive during an S2000 meet.
