Partly correct. It's effect is minimal on a FLAT surface but there's nowhere I go that's flat. Or doesn't have an amount of city driving at either end. In my journeys, weight is an issue.
A full tank will take me close to 600 miles. My longest journey is a 240 mile round trip so, accounting for detours, etc, half a tank should do me fine. However, while I'm calibrating my ScanGauge I will continue to fill up until I get accurate readings.
Thanks for your input though.
