What's your actual mileage, calculated by miles between fill-ups
divided by # of gallons pumped?

I fill the Acclaim about as often as I was filling the Dak (doing the
same commute), with a gas tank 8 gallons smaller. Actually, I can
sometimes manage one "leg" longer than the Dak, upwards of 350
miles/fill (3.5 days) on the Acclaim vs. 300/fill (3 days) on the Dak.
 Acclaim's getting 25+ MPG.
