23.5 MPH roundtrip from LA to Vegas, including a little of city driving in Vegas and some traffic getting there. Best of all is that I made it there in one tank. Couldn't say the same about my Lotus (w/ a 10.9 gal. tank).

I just did a roundtrip from begas to phoenix and back after i recieved the second flash.

going vegas to phoenix 23.8 MPG / 78 avg MPH - I drive it at night when there is
little to no traffic.

Phoenix to vegas 23.9 MPG / 69 avg MPH - I drove it slower on cruise just to see if there was a big difference...

Just driving at one speed on the highway I doubt there are any changes to the maps, it's full throttle where they leaned it out and tuned a little more intelligently above 5k RPM.
