OK, Bar-
I'm at 551 miles, the idiot light came on 50 miles ago so I've got 2.5gal to go plus change and whatever crud's on the bottom. The gage tells me I'm sitting at 39.9mpg for the tank (my personal best so far, but we'll see when I fill up).
My drive home today is 34 miles so I gotta come up with a way to kill off 15 miles. Maybe I'll pick up the pizza tonight from a different place...
I need to fill up tonight becasue I'm carpooling around tomorrow. So this will be a 601 mile tank, not an all-out best effort.
I tagged 50.2mpg for the drive yesterday, drafting a UPS truck for 23 miles out of the 34. 55mph, windows cracked 1 inch, AC off, 84deg ambient, no wind. I think that's my best-ever commute run (I only draft it it happens upon me; I don't seek it out)

well, this tank is making up for that one. I had 85 miles @ 27.x mpg from the weekend...
even if I hit 40mpg for the full tank till I hit fumes, my theoretical best is still only 37.x.
But at least the rain washed the pollen off!
