Also, after my last tank lasting something like 250 miles I have been striving for better mileage this tank. Currently have about half a tank and already 225 miles so I'm hoping to get 400 out of this one... My goal is for 30mpg

As for the fuel consumption adjustment for the trip computer...

I meant my own personal first 500 mile tank after mods. I'm posting from my phone so I'm not sure if the sig is showing... NM Stage 2, Evolve catless DP, Helix FMIC, 2nd cat and resonator delete.

I didn't make 500 the previous tank, because it was more convenient for me to fill with three carrots left on the gauge than two. I was less than 10 miles short, though, and I could have easily made it before getting down to two carrots.
This tank I drove a bit less conservatively. In large part due to forgetting something at home and needing to run back there at higher speed than I usually drive. I did make 500 miles, though. The gauge dropped to two red carrots at 498, but then went back to three orange ones. It was probably something about being parked at an angle. It finally went back to two red ones at 510 miles, and I wound up at 537 when I filled up. Just over 40 MPG this time, which is close to my worst so far...

I have had 3 tanks over 500 miles in my '10 R55 S auto. I was on the highway with cruise in light to medium traffic at or below 80. I regularly get 350-400 mile tanks with city and highway mixed traffic. 2nd cat and resonator removed got my almost 2 mpgs.
I never got that good on my R56, maybe an occasional 400 mile tank on the highway and 320-350 in town. (unmodified)

i went 411 miles in my 2012 cms all4 and used only 9.8 gals ... that's 41.9 mpg
that was a fillup right next to an i-state onramp, 55 mph on cruise the whole way and fillup right next to the offramp
normal everyday driving, i see 28-29 mpg

I didn't either. I only did it for more noise. I enjoy the netted MPGs. I didn't see it for the first few tanks because I was nailing it to hear the new noise

Two weeks ago I got 632.5 miles on a tank of gas, with 18 miles left on the computer. I drove across Michigan's Upper Peninsula from St. Ignace to Copper Harbor, drove around Copper Harbor a bit (I was there two days) and drove back to St. Ignace before filling up. The Upper Peninsula is 55 mph. I set my cruise to 60, drove with the windows and sunroof open, and the music blasting. Computer said 49.4 mpg. I have a 2012 "Justa" with a manual transmission. When I drive on highways I tend to go around 80...but milage drops off quite a bit.

Not saying I have ever burnt a tank of fuel at 130 but at or slightly above 100 mph the car went through all but 50-60 miles left of range in 260 or so miles

Just barely got 500 miles with this last tank. Mostly because of a very "spirited" run up to Alice's Restaurant in the foothills with one of the local Porsche clubs.
I first got the two red carrots at 497 miles, but then the display went back to three orange carrots. (The warning was still on, though.) The carrots finally went back to red for real at about 510 miles, and I filled at 513, putting 12.7 gallons in.
It was only a 40 MPG tank. I suppose I can live with that, though!
