Hi Jason,

I had just under 12000 miles when I started the trip.

I may have to revise this a little because I just noticed the gas station
charged me for Super instead of the regular I asked for on Monday morning
(like I really can prove it.)

I filled up Sunday morning and the trip odo read 303.9 when I got home
Sunday night. The gas gauge was just over 1/8th of a tank left and the gas
station slip reads 14.81 gallons (I have the 22 gallon tank.) In other
words, I really have no idea what freaking mileage I got.

Since I've been tracking it the most miles I put on one tank was 263.1 and
that took 17 gallons to refill. I'm going to guess 16-18 gallons to refill
this time. That puts my mileage at 17 - 19 MPG (which still isn't bad).

It was nice while it lasted...
