I think your settings in the NAV used to estimate time of arrival must be used in this calculation also. What are they? (Average speed: 25 mph? Average terrain: downhill? Average conditions: tailwind?)
Or did you add an auxiliary fuel tank and not tell us?

Haven't you modded your SC430 to be hybrid powered yet?

Fitting the giant elastic band is easy, but winding it up is quite tricky

HAHA!! No photoshop with mine I promise!! I drive 90 miles round trip every day during the week. It is my daily driver. I keep the maintenance up. It is bone stock. I use a little cocktail of additives, burn premium from a high volume station, keep the throttle body clean. Run 100% synthetic. No real secrets. Highest I ever recorded was 425. I have been known to blow the carbon out of it every now and then.

I got 280 since mine show 15.5MPG

...mine is showing an 21.9 avg....so with a 19.8 gal tank, that would put me around 433mls. I'll try to get a camera & take a pic when a fill up this weekend. Plus got some new wheels, so I can show them off also...lol
