    Freak m50 or misreading obc?

    Im running an m50 with a 5 speed getrag 260 and a 2.93 lsd rear end, and my obc is reading 42.7 mpg average. I dont think this can be anywhere near correct, but i can hope. Im doing MPG calculations next time i fill up, but has anybody had an obc read wrong? This was with mostly highway driving, with some city.

    Holy crap. Something's wrong. I don't think there's anyway you're getting that mpg out of an M50.

        It's incorrect. There is a correction factor but I don't know it off hand.

          the OBC in these cars wasnt made for this engine, so its going to read incorrectly unless you get one of those signal correctors that some guy makes. i think he sells them on ebay.
