I have yet to do the full tank to empty in one run adventure... but that may lead from central maine to viriginia beach someplace.  |
I do not doubt your inscrutable fuel logs, but it may be helpful to take a pencil with you to the gas station, write down gallons to three digits and miles to the tenth. Also, only add fuel if you're going to fill it. Do not trust gas gauges. Subaru gas gauges lie notoriously. I've seen mine 3/16th of a tank BELOW empty. Tell me, was I running on less than no fuel?
There are different realities. There's objective reality, where the BSFC impact of opening an EGR valve or the CdA of a roof rail is a measurable, knowable quantity. Then there's subjective reality, which is different for every individual. It's real, but it's not useful for making comparisons between different cars or recommendations about how to improve gas mileage.
