First real tank, 42 mpg- all city driving.
Well I finally got my baseline numbers tonight from the $250 Metro and they were better than expected. I wound up with 41.93 mpg, all of it city driving while delivering pizza. I may just reach my 50 mpg tank goal yet.
My first actual tank counted in my log was from when I found out that the fuel tank seal leaked-all over the place. That tank was 38.5 mpg or so and should not have been included in my statistics because the fuel was leaked out and not actually burned in the engine. This tank is the first one I have done with a sealed tank (and all new fuel lines).

(Note: the car sees 100% city driving and is EPA rated at 37 mpg city)
