    When your mpgs reach infinity and beyond just keep driving and remove some gas from the tank when it gets near full.

    I wondered about that too: the pic provided shows the trip odometer, not the average MPG.

    If so, he should be able to reach 300+ mpg using that!

    Oh my God.
    You're right. I'm so sorry.
    That's the trip meter.
    I'm such a dumbass.
    Valvoline must've changed it when trying to figure out how to reset the wrench icon.
    Sorry.

    -Yeah 2018 GT
    -Aftermarket OZ wheels
    -I thought I had a Garage entry, albeit a basic one.
    -No this is car #5. I just say and do dumb sht more than I would like to admit. My apologies.

    I'm doubting a bent rim; would've noticed shake DURING a drive. Honestly, now that I know I'm not some omnipotent being exempt from the gasoline gods or what-have-you, I'm less concerned about the shaking. I thought the two were related. Probably just snow on the rims, and it's just too cold to do anything about it.

    Welcome to Buffalo NY, I guess.. haha

    Which might be bent, not properly centered, or out of balance.

    Take a look at the left-hand column by one of your posts and you'll see the space where your Garage entry is linked. If you haven't yet made a forum Garage entry, it'll look like this:

    Garage empty: add car

    Feel free to click the add car link to make your entry.

    Good news: you sorted out the mystery MPG.

    Bad news: your Mirage does not have a magical self-filling gas tank. :-D

    -thank you for links. Definitely did that, but did it again, so thank you. Prolly never hit save.

    -someone asked of it was my first car.

    -I've been trying to reply with quote, my phone is not having it. Hard to HTML & such on mobile.
