I been checking my mpg last 2 days ? LOOK

Also i went 29.5 miles round trip to work Monday. Before.i.left home the tank was filled to the.top of the neck.i got home added. 1.25 gallons of fuel =23.6 mpg in town.

Today Tuesday..i went same route to work and home same miles 29.5 got home added .75 gallon = 39.33 mpg.

my odometer says 29.5 miles
my GPS says ... 28.5 miles...i trust the GPS better right ???

the only thing different i did was lube/moly purge the injectors ,replaced the main and pre-filters adjust the transmission cable was shifting out to soon on Monday bogging ..the ALDA is turned 1.5 turns in from all the way way to the stop position.
still have to adjust the valves too.

i still got to get a tire pressure gauge,to check tire pressure, also i need a front end alignment i got some neg. camber.

the way i been checking it is fulling the tank to the top of the neck all the way ...and when i get home i got a 1 gallon can i pour in it .
i know this isn't the correct way...but shouldn't the way i did it be close to what i travel a day ?
i know i need to run a whole tank soon then check it .

i just got this car ,and just got it road worthy.and that was with the c/a on too. plus i didnt go over 60 mph. to work is mostly no traffic at 5 am. way home does have some stop and go a lot at slow speeds.

sorry for the wording ,,M.S & O.C.D.
