Not to mention that no two cars are maintained the same, and thus, no two cars operate the same. One car will always use more fuel than another. The idea is to get within a range of fuel economy, whether you're slightly over, slightly under, or exact with someone else.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.

The 34 is a short fill, making it more prone to error. It could have just been filled at a different station or something, making it not completely fill up. Either way, the other scores are similar to yours, so what's the problem? They might not have been going 70-80 when they got the 32-33 tanks.
