Hmm.. I've had gas pumps shut off way too early for whatever reason (I think their vapor return system is pinched or clogged.) I think my last tank (37 mpg, a new high) was partially caused by an early shutoff (the needle barely got above the "full" mark, where normally I'll get 60 to 70 miles before the needle comes down to full.) That's why we take averages. :-)
