I'll have to do some ABA testing to verify any change. There's just too much variation in my tank-to tank fills.

My first car was a 1985 Tempo coupe. Her name was Cybil, as in Cybil Shepherd. A 1988 Honda Accord hatchback I drove was named Goldie (Hawn). So when I started driving the Vibe, I was wondering what her name was. One day on the way to work I was idly thinking about EOCing, momentum, and Sir Isaac Newton. Which made me think of Olivia Newton-John. You know, in Grease, with the black leather pants. (dang this ADD) And then it hit me, yeah-that's it, her name's Olivia.
