if you DRIVE consistently and gently you should still be able to get a nice consistent fuel average. First thing to do is only use ONE gas station. The fuel varies hugely from station to station by ethanol content at least around me it does. I have measured asd low as 6-8% at wawa and as high as 13% at joe's gas. Sunoco on 73 used to be 6-8% like wawa then they started to get 10-11% so I stopped going their.

the other thing is NEVER partial fill. always run it till the low fuel light comes on if you have one and if you know it works right (in my club wagon when the low fuel light came on it was already too late you were out of gas :-) hehe I did that once sitting in line at the gas station. Some punk cuts in front of me so I have to wait longer the low fuel light comes on and 30 second later engine dies :-) out of gas. Lot of good that light did me :-) hehehe
