Ah heh sorry I filled it to the top, what I meant was the tank wasn't close to empty.

I'm pretty disappointed with my gas mileage so far, don't have a parking permit yet because my apartment manager is f***ing slow at getting me a copy of my lease so I'm just parking it 5 times a day. The engine is usually still cold by the time I park it, the idle is about 700rpm when warmed up, when I move the car it's only dropped to maybe 900-1000. Odometer shows about 20 miles since 3 days ago (yea, parking is quite hard to find around Berkeley!), and I see the needle dropping past the "F" mark already
