I agree.

The only fill-up I didn't post for my "White Pony" was the first one after the dealership filled it during a test drive. They didn't reset the trip odometer when they filled it, so I didn't have an accurate "miles traveled" number on my first fill. So I didn't post that one. I DID post my worst fill-up ever, and explained the reason.

I omitted the first 6+ years on "Big Red"'s fuel log because I didn't have the inclination and enthusiasm to post another 100+ fill-ups. And it would have just been "more of the same"...

In my humble opinion, I've managed to squeeze some fairly impressive fuel economy out of my 4-liter Mustang. My next fill-up won't be as impressive, due to colder weather, but I believe I can break 32 MPG next year.

I promise to keep my fuel logs current and accurate.
