26 mpg with 35” tires!!

[bywaysnothighways]

I’ve been relying on the built in computer and my scan guage 3 to get an idea of mpg. I typically see between 22-24 on my scan guage which takes the tire difference into account vs 20-22 on the dash mpg guage. I am only ever seeing the number for that specific trip. Well I reset my meter and did a full tank and was blown away that it was actually much better than I expected. I went 360 miles on the dash which equals 392 when accounting for the tire change and used 15.063 gallons. That comes to 26 mpg! I was expecting closer to 20 because in my experience the dash gauges always seem higher than actual tank calculations.
I’m gonna do a few more tanks to make sure it wasn’t a fluke but at the moment I’m pretty happy. I’ve been wondering if the people complaining about super bad mpg aren’t calculating it correctly/have bad driving habits/ super heavy tires or all 3. I try to drive with the engine off as much as possible. I really wish I had more control over it because i know it is running more than it needs to. But overall I am pretty happy with that.
