Highest I got on an 1600 mile round trip in the LS was 25.5 per the car's display.

maybe your paintjob is lowering your MPG...try changing it and see if your MPG increases

My mom has one of those.. With the whole 4 cylinders and the CVT trans.. It goes 0-60 in like 3.4 years.. :lol:
I got 28.7 with a wind pushing me. I didn't think that really counted so I didn't add that..
Maybe like .5-1.5 mpgs.. I did notice an improvement..

Re-pete I didnt even run Royal Purple in my 11 sec T/A, I did once in the LS for sh!ts and giggles, realized shortly after that it was a complete waste of money. It is good for the bearings but you wont notice anything.

I just want my car to run as long as I can and I know with cheaper brands you don't get much lubrication in high RPM range due to viscosity...hense why I am giving RP a try.....you get what you pay for..ain' I ain't Jiffy Lubin!

When I said the gain, it could have been cause I drove like a g-ma or something. My average mpgs did go up. And RP says that you gain power.. Idk about anyone else, but I think I felt a little more. Now my cars rpms will be at 4500 when going 40 in 1st.. Before, I couldn't hit it. It was going 40 in 2nd @ 6000.. Idk what's up with that one?

the Royal Purple feels really good. I feel the gears just happy as kids in a ballpit. The smoothness of acceleration, deceleration feel better than that castrol poop

not bad for a 17 dollar oil change..minus the fact I needed 7 quarts of RP at 8dollars per quart
apparently the GEn 1s need more motor oil than the Gen 2s

My best tank was over 26mpg. That's hand calculated. The computer showed something close.

My Gen1 took about 6.75 quarts...at least that's what the dealership said as I brought the whole case to them

Yea.. I checked today.. I used a tad less than 6 qts.. I used 5 3/4.. It's good to have it in the safe area, not the full..
