Taco...that's a great tank bro! Your best tank in last 11 fill-ups and over your 90 day avg.

The trucks in this competition are finding good results so far...Taco and Big Dave might find themselves squaring off in the Semifinals!

Updated bracket attached...

Drumroll please...

I stopped and filled up on the way home. "My" Pump #4 at the Meijers plaza, first click trickle, remove at the first kick-off. You know, 'the usual drill'.

And I got....


38.05 !

Is it enough? Did I do it?

Oh well. If I had to lose, I'm glad it was a Vibe.

Why is it I think Taco's good MPG is due to him hypermiling his brains out?
