> I haven’t topped what I got on the october run yet for a full tank, but I have gotten a few 38-39mpg tanks, and I have gotten in the habit of topping off my tank when I fill it up now. It really does help to measure your milage a lot more accurately, not to mention I can get 450 miles to a tank rather than about 330 when I would just stop when the pump shuts off.

Agreed, my 2000 Protege DX will take about 1.5 more gallons after the first click off. I set a new record with it this past weekend. I drove up from southern, NJ, 244.8 miles [all highway, no stops] and only used 4.506 gallons of fuel. That’s 54.33 mpg. And the car’s an automatic! Check my [**fuel log**](http://ecomodder.com/forum/em-fuel-log.php?vehicleid=1493) on Ecomodder to see how I did it. 😉
