I always push in the clutch and let it drop to idle before shutting it down.
The sucking fuel through after shut down makes sense. But I honestly don't see how it could be enough to make a 3 mpg difference.
I would like to try and fill up when its closer to empty...however my hours are greatly reduced at work presently and I have to buy gas when I get paid every week.
The weather is much nicer now and when I get a chance I need to replace the plugs and check the cap and rotor and look through my service manual on adjusting the carb I smelled it when I started it up after work tonight and it smells a bit rich...so I think it needs a spring time adjustment.
I will keep doing EOC this tank and see how it comes out. If the numbers are under 28 again I will go back to not EOC and see if they go back up.
I fill up at the same station every time and actually use the same pump because I go when nobody else is there.
