Joenavy, I believe you...but until I can pick up a ScanGuage that really is my only way to judge a baseline of how much fuel is in the tank...so far, since my commute is pretty steady (34.5 miles one way) and I put in a pretty steady amount of fuel, I can pretty much predict when the light will come on with accuracy...(" That light is gonna come on/beep when I get to the stop light outside the parking lot after work") and I'm usually not more than a mile off...so far now I'm basing my computations on that.
When I *do* get a ScanGuage my OCD is gonna have an all-out, no holds barred, FIELD DAY.
All I really wanted was 33mpg, so I'm pretty happy, compared to driving my 95 Tacoma which struggled to get 24mpg.
Maybe instead of stopping at $20 at the pump...I'll stop on an even gallon number if possible...maybe the resulting lack of decimal places will give me a more accurate number...but I've been smack between 34 and 35 mpg 2X a week since February with the one exception when I coasted down literally every little grade on my commute. I was actually annoying my own self then.
I like this place...people take it seriously.
