500 Miles a tank!

Yahoo.



501.8 Miles, 15.4 gallons

I have a 16.9 gallon tank, so assuming I can get every drop out of it, and overfill up to the neck, its juuuust possible I could get 600 one day.

I'm in Florida for the shuttle launch tomorrow. The tail is 1000 miles away with cracked glass. This was just me driving normally and I think the elevation change helped along with my average speed on the second half of the tank.

I also got a ticket 20 minutes after filling up. Couldnt move over when there was a cop in a ditch. "Move over Law" sounds great, but its just another way to bring in revenue here. If they think I won't fight it because I'm out of state they have another thing coming. I have the entire thing on tape with GPS data logging confirming speed.

Fine? 500$

Must have been my lucky number.

What do you mean you have it on tape?

For my own protection against unfair police action?

Cameras are cheap now. Do you really want to rely on someone else to provide evidence you're innocent?
