First tank is gone, 405 miles with 9.495 gallons. Very pleased with this result, only to get better down the road. Ultra gauge was off a bit, said I was averaging 39.7mpg. Calibrated the mpg's for more accurate reading ahead.
One thing I noticed that doesn't make a lot of sense regarding mpg's. In two separate trips to the ball diamond, I had 4 people in the car with me. On both occasions, my average mpg's went up, not down with heavier load. I don't EOC, but I do coast a lot in neutral with the engine on. I'm assuming the added weight will make me coast farther, and thus the increase in fuel economy. There must be a sweet spot (weight wise) for the best economy, not necessarily the lightest load possible.
