Three in a row was not meant to be

Just filled up again yesterday. I tried - tried so hard I even ran it out of gas - but it only made it to 779.8 miles until that happened. At least I'm keeping fresher gas in my "spare gas can" now!!!

At the gas station, I noticed one of my rear tires was low - only 30 psi - so that may have contributed. Also, my cardboard air dam was deteriorating, and I needed the "clean" bumper outline exposed to trace the shape for the new air dam, so I removed the cardboard about 300 miles ago - and still don't have the new one on yet.

These may have contributed to my lower mileage and range this tank, but as I think about it, 63.65 mpg isn't too shabby - - - is even my third highest tank ever, so looking for "the problem" is kinda weird - - - maybe I shouldn't consider there to be a problem, eh?
