3)Just today I removed my mirrors and want that effect to kick in for a few more miles.
4) only had 250 or so miles on this tank so far. With a 600+ mile range I want to run the tank lower. The more miles I use to calculate mileage the lower the margin of error is.
5) I'm shooting for a 70mpg tank so I wanted some best case scenerio miles added.
Jeeze, am I getting to anal about this? Obsessed?

If you want to fill the tank, then just fill it. If you want to drive somewhere just to go there then that is your choice. I drive-ride to places I do not HAVE to go all the time, but then I don't feel like living like a hermit.
My Fiesta is sitting in the garage after our little vacation to Ocean City. I try to ride the bike whenever the weather permits and the wife is not coming along. Nasty weather and I drive the Fiesta. I try to limit the truck to trips that need it's capabilities since it gets half the mileage of the bike.
I will do short fills when I have done something which might improve my mileage.
