going on half tanks or other partials can be very subjective. with how much the fuel moves around in the tank I have personally experienced divations anywhere from 5-20 miles on the OD and have tested by actually refilling after 2,3, & 4 bars down. Add in the heat/humidy indices and it can really wreak havoc on FE. I had a couple tanks while in Memphis in 08 and then again in central AL last summer that were very similar to your experience during the dog days of summer. I also had a few tanks the last couple winters where I avg around 22/23 as well. It sucks, but it can happen.
