OK, this guy is a bit extreme (0.75 gallons!!), but he's not the only one to be recording small fills.

What gets up my nose is, some then using that inaccurate data to justify percentage increases for various (unicorn) mods.

It can be frustrating waiting for a full tank to be used (or even a half tank), for those of us who have no instantaneous FE display, but that's the only way you'll get half decent data.

Being patient is nearly driving me nuts while I wait for my next fill at the moment, but because I want believable results, I have to.
