Chris D. · 04-05-2008, 07:54 PM

It wasn't a very long distance to travel, but it was all in town mileage.. A friend of mine kicked in on gas and said he'd fill it, so I took him up on it and went with it..

I had 104 mi. (this is the corrected mileage for the compensated tire size)
it took 3.111 US gal to fill

brings me to 33.43 MPG

reguardless of distance, mileage is mileage.. right?

I added it to my log, but I didnt want it to seem as tho I was cheating myself out of my log accuracy (or as close as possible) and i can edit as needed on it..

I'm trying to keep this by the book..
lemme know..

thanks
