Vegas: Great picture! That looks just like my car. Same engine and trans, too. (I don't have the sunroof, spoiler, clear taillights, backup lights, rims, etc) With what you're doing in that Altima, you'd be scaring me with your numbers.
About the fuel pump, I share your concern. I only run it low when I can get a distance record. That means I did so on the last three tanks. Now, however, I'll be filling sooner. Cooler weather and morning school dropoff duty are knocking my numbers down a notch. If I can't get a new record, why push it so far?
