Yikes!

I just checked the Green GP site, and they now show us getting 42.8 mpg

In all the time since I've built this car, and that's over 10k miles now, I have NEVER recorded under 50 mpg on any tank, and that includes lots of miles on the interstates out west climbing passes and going 70+ mph.

In this case, we never exceeded 55 mph, and were EOC for probably 25% of each lap. Last year on the lap of Seneca course, we got 73 mpg, and I was always a bit skeptical of (but pleased with

) that result, but something is really screwy with this number.

What is the accuracy +/- of those scales again?
