This doesn't tell us anything unless we know how many gallons you use to go 210 miles on a tank of gas.

this doesnt seem normal....
I have gotton as much as 245 miles per tank and this was not at a constant highway speed of 65 mph.

If you put in 11 to 11.5 gallons when you fill up, at 210 miles per tank, that would yield 18.26 to 19.09 mpg. Either you are not going 65 on the highway as you stated earlier, or there is something askew

Like I stated earlier, I'm all up and down the rev range ALL the time and I get the same exact milage

A lot of peeps that I have met have told me that they get as much as 275+ miles per tank. Something is not right.

FYI...reset the trip meter when you fuel up, and when you do fill up, fill the tank all the way up. When you fill up the next time, the amount of gas it takes to fill the tank all the way up is how much fuel you have used.

Miles per tank divided by amount of fuel pumped to completely fill the tank will give you your mpg.
