"Test tank to see if filling at half a tank gets the FCD closer to the actual mpg. Test confirmed (but will try this same method on the next three or four tanks to see if it's consistent)!
Really weird result, because the FCD was showing 76.8, so the actual mpg was higher than the FCD at half a tank, where it is usually 2-4 mpg lower than the FCD shows at a full tank.
Stayed with the first click on this tank, used my usual pump, filled in the morning like usual, carpooled the same as usual, no route change, etc . . .so the only difference was filling at half a tank i.l.o. a full tank." |
