I've found my dashboard display to be consistantly
off by about 10% (low) vs the "old way".

Not accurate even the base c4 had skip shift. The base C4 did not beat the Gas Guzzler Tax....the LT5 did.

Read the Heart of the Beast. All C4s did with the exception of the ZR-1. It was the ONLY C4 to beat it.

Here is quote from the Vice President of GM, Bob Schultz page 45

"Well, if the L98 can't beat gas guzzler, what chance has LT5 got? "It meets it" Roy piped up. you're telling me we've got a 245 hp engine that can't [questioned Schulz] " the answer is obvious, isn't it? Give the L98 to Lotus and let them fix it!"

While 1to4 was piece of the puzzle low idle speed and the calibration were key factors as well.

The 405 hp model, surpassed the gas guzzler threshold of 22.5 mpg by a comfortable margin, achieving 23.1 on the EPA scale. HC, CO and NOx emission were also reduced. This info is on page 75.

1990 white/black #2546 4-speed 4l80E trans with 3.73 rear gears. My mileage
16-19 avg, but some times i get 20-21 on a long trip. But I get mid 11.78 to 11.84 in this hot Fl. summer. If I set my mileage to inst at the track i get 3-4
miles per gallon. So i do not use that setting ,in avg setting it will drop down to 13-14 mpg, if i start with 16 mpg.

Like on the Internet don't believe everything you read!
My 93, 95, 96, 98 and 06 Corvettes plus my 95, 96 Camaros and 96 Roadmaster beat the gas guzzler tax!

I provided the proof from the Heart of the Beast by Anthony Young. I suggest you buy a copy and read it. It gives a lot if history about the LT5 program. I didn't relate something that somebodies cousins sisters brother posted to the Internet like you imply with this post.

Roadmasters and Camaros are an apple to oranges argument. The base C4 did not meet the EPAs threshold.
