Weasel will become famous soon enough
To get some really high numbers just for fun, reset it through the OBC while on the highway, then coast! (the numbers 999 come to mind)

I've never been able to reset the range on demand.

Thumbs up RANGE

MY Range on my X5 3.0 2001 says 485 today after I put 20 gallons, I have also been using Pure Acetone religiously for 2years and my gas mileage is much better. 3oz. pure acetone for every 10 gallons of fuel never had any seals leak or wear out because of it, no engine damage. In fact I would bet if you took apart my engine the cylinders would sparkle. Im not going to debate anyone on the science it is what it is, I know Iam getting at least 15-20% better range with the Acetone. I buy it at Home depot $6+ for 32oz. much cheaper than wasting money on Octane boosters and Fuel injector cleaners.

Thumbs up RANGE 2.0

I agree. Just b/c there is no proven science behind it doesn't mean that it doesn't work. I've been using authentic Walkerswood Jamaican Jerk Chicken Seasoning for years in my gas tanks and I consistently get 800-975 mpg. To be honest the stuff is a pain in the ass to get since I have to go to Jamaica, and some times it's sold out when I get there, but in the end the gas mileage savings always makes it worth it. Plus my fellow motorists love me for it since the resulting exhaust has a pleasant jerky smell that is reminiscent of an authentic Jamaican BBQ. Yahh Monnn! I get people giving me the dozens of times daily.
