Note to site Admins/Mods:
The link given on tip #9 (Track FE) is dead. 404 message.
I realize that it's pretty self-explanatory for members, but a lot of drivers don't track mileage. A good concise how-to would be great for people newly interested in FE.
Here's something I wrote up a while back. I realize there is still some debate about filling to one click, or filling to the neck for repeatability:
• Steps to track mileage:
1. Fill your tank to full. Stop at first or second automatic shutoff.
2. Record your initial odometer reading.
3. Drive until it is time to refuel.
4. Fill to full again. Stop at first or second shutoff, consistent with step 1. Try to use the same pump if possible, for precision.
5. Record your final odometer reading.
6. Record your fuel consumption. See pump or receipt.
7. Divide miles traveled by fuel consumed.
