It's been a while since I visited this thread. Good going, everyone! I edited my mileage log to reflect an overlooked 3.3% calibration error. The corrected distances traveled on my old tires raised my xB's lifetime fuel economy from 47.1 mpg to 48.8 mpg. My record tank is now 642.1 miles (1033 km) on 10.563 gal, for a 60.8 mpg average out of a car with only a 28 mpg combined EPA estimate.
