going over to winston salem over the weekend i got 37.5 mpg. not real happy with that considering the m2 does over 40 any day of the week with the engine work it had done along with the mikuni and supertrapp. it still beats 14-17 in the pick up.

That bar on the left is a gas gauge, and somehow this thing is almost spot on, it tends to read about 1mpg high when i calculate it manually.

Ignore the 400mph top speed, i miss placed the decimal when i calibrated it the first time, and i've been to lazy to go and clear that.

Ya know, the bugs don't stick as bad at 50 mph...which is the speed I drive my truck nowadays, when I can. Cleaned up real nice yesterday with very little bug scrubbing.
