Hmmm... I don't know if I should be or or ... I'm at 160 miles but have only used a quarter tank out of a 10 gal tank... Either I'm doing something really well and I'm targeting ~50mpg+ on this tank; or I did something very wrong in my calculations last time (Yes, I do know how to calculate MPG on a tank!) or didn't fill it right (I am certain it was full); or the fuel gauge isn't working right all of a sudden (maybe I'll run dry when it's indicating 1/4 tank... )

Guess I'll know soon enough...

KJSatz: Ya, I agree with what you're saying which is why I mentioned that on this tank I've adjusted to more coasting in neutral vs 'coasting' in gear; I was just trying different things out.
