Here's the outlook for the U.F.O:

I may be taking it on a trip to the east coast next month. It's about 2800 km round trip, and it'll likely drop my 90-day fuel consumption owing to higher speeds on a longer trip. (No time to make a boat tail first! )

If I don't do that trip, I probably won't fill it up again this year, which means the car's contribution to the team will only improve as each of my lower, older tanks drop off from the 90-day calculation!

I'll be getting the Firefly back on the road later this fall and parking the U.F.O., so contributing to Team Metro (traitor that I am).
