Frankly I do see good advice here so thanks has been given.

And I see a point of not making a FE claim after having not gone even one gallon's worth of distance, Now the MPGs went down to an estimate of about 23 with another 11.7 miles in winter. I was looking more at the average number without taking distance into account.

I did manage about 28.55 though in one (Mostly highway) trip though, Refilled on 2013 October 18th, If that's accurate; I didn't use the same pump consecutively from the last one and I went according to the Odometer. It's in the fuel logs. It was mostly between 60 and 70 MPH, About 346 miles all on the same day.

Though I haven't checked the van's odometer with a GPS.
