I think you should do a little driving to validate that high mpg.

Is the car a new HYBRID Z

I believe that A&A is a great Guy and tuner but you do have to sacrifice mpg to get power.

I guess maybe if you did not rev it over 2000rpm for 130 miles it is possible.

Anything is possible...

Good Luck with Your Z and God Bless.

Now the hell with mpg and drive it like you stole it!!!!
thats exactly what i did.....kept it right at 2000. a lot of times it was more like 1500-1700rpm. im gonna try to take it out this weekend and get an exact number with the mpg based on how far i travel and how much gas i use

My car has 487 rwhp and it says it gets 34 mpg on the highway. NOT
Fill up the tank, actually look at the odometer, run the numbers and reality will check in
I guess no one actualy understands what I wrote, it is a FALSE reading after tuning the injector offset table depending on how much offset was done.
