[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 952121, member: 52972"] Eddie, I agree. I always recommend the old fashioned way of testing gas mileage....Fill up the tank, drive for at least 100 miles in normal traffic, Refill the tank back at the same pump you filled up at and then use the old math formula of dividing the miles driven by the gas used and include all the tenths or hundreds of a gallon that the pump shows and all the tentsh shown on the odometer. I lot of people just round off the puimp to the nearest gallon, or the odometer to the nearest mile. That is inaccurate as well. Of course the more miles you drive the less significant are the minor errors. That's why I don't think a Tankfull of gas is an accurate way to calculate MPG. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
