Looking at the progress of my current tank... ~250 miles at half tank... so target is still looking like ~50mpg...
I think what Clev said is correct... I'm thinking that on my very first ever fillup (back on 12/30), the station fuel pump might have shut off early, giving me a higher than expected first tank MPG result and then a lower than expected second tank MPG result (which is actually true... I was surprised how high the result of the first tank was given that the orig owner drove most of that tank and was claiming only 30 to 35mpg)... and now this tank is more in line with "reality".
Phew, I think... |
Yup, those darn gas pumps. My previous 37 mpg tank (a new high) was followed up by a 33 mpg tank, bringing the two-tank average back down to around my winter average.
I could get more accurate results by always going back to the same station and same pump, but paying less per gallon is more important to me (as is getting the most miles out of a tank so I fill up less often.)
