I agree that you do need to make measurements based upon a whole tank of gas. I have been getting 26-28MPG in Baltmiore-Washington DC traffic with my 1999 V6 with an ATX, but I also drive with gas mileage in mind.

I'm also curious as to how many miles on the car before the LIMG problem.

I'm also curious as to how many miles you can drive after the dash light goes on.
