Are you calculating by mileage, or going by what the overhead says??

With boost foolers and fueling boxes/timing boxes my overhead reads about 23 something. Its way wrong. My DTE also reads something like 680 miles till empty.

I only get 17 heavy footing it around. I have gotten up to 20 just cruising at an easy 65, anything faster the mileage goes down hill.
