There's two methods Torque uses, and several calculations, to determine gas consumption/mileage.

Make certain you have the curb weight (3232 I believe) and engine displacement (3.7) input properly. Make certain to have the tank size (22.82) input properly. Turn on Advanced Connect.

All that should be done in the profile for the vehicle.

Make certain "Don't calculate MPG/Fuel" is unchecked. Make certain "Use vehicle fuel level sensor" is checked.(unchecked by default - this is a real-time input for Torque to calculate gas mileage).

That should be done in the OBD2 Adapter Settings window.

I'm reading my vehicle perfectly on 3 devices. Hopefully you get yours going properly. GL!

I wouldn't put too much stock into most of the values Torque gives.

For example:

My commanded AFR reads 17.5:1 at WOT while the actual AFR reads 12.5 :1

I'm pretty sure the ecu isn't actually commanding 17.5:1 at WOT.

My throttle position never goes above 88.63%

Who knows, maybe doing a throttle re-learn procedure will fix that issue, but I think its just a problem with the app

Hmm.. according to the manual the gas tank holds 19 gallons.
I'll try the rest and see if it helps.

Still reading 11.5 on MPG, Trip MPG, and MPG (avg) at any speed. Nothing changed. The sensors must be different in the 2013 Z. Even figuring on paper gasoline used to miles driven is twice what Torque Pro shows.

Odd. I'm generally show 0.1 variation from what the display in the car shows. Are you certain you have the fuel sensor checked on in the adapter settings?

Don't calculate MPG/Fuel is unchecked. Suggested by Torque's author, Enhanced MPG calculation is checked. Use vehicle fuel level sensor is checked.

I think I turned off the enhanced MPG calc. I'll have to check when I get home.
