All your Yaris still care of MPG?

Oh, and Florida is as flat as a 10 year-old's chest, and I have easily gotten over 50 on the highways... that is with no tricks, just driving slower. Oh, and I will take the offer, but will drive in reverse the whole week to make the MPG numbers more believable.

Woody: I am about 45-60 minutes from the obx. Let me know when you come this way.

Drummerboy: Do the run out and refill method and see if thats still an accurate number. Maybe you are not re-filling to the same level and therefore throwing the numbers off.

The run out method would be more true, but is bad for your fuel pump because running out of gas causes this to overheat. If this is the method you are using, I would suggest changing the ways...

It is possible that I am not refilling to the same levels, but based on all of the tanks I have filled and the various gas stations I have been to over time, systematic and random error would likely be accounted for over time. Besides, my numbers cannot be off by very much... even with my current methodology.
