Ah, good, now I can finally admit that I track, er, every tank.  Know what
you're saying Serge, great way to detect a problem.

MTM 1+, Stebro, new O2 (well, on workbench at least), WOT shifts around
town, WOT highway commutes to work, I consistently average about 17.  Saw as
high as 22-23 long highway trip with Wife (read: speed limits mostly obeyed,
cruise on...  well, until I passed a Lotus Elise in upstate VT!  So cool).
Seen as low as 15 being a total idiot (not far from normal), er, and topped
her off with, um, 19.7 gallons (hey, isn't that more than capacity?
Whoops).

Teddy, you saw 26???  What, was that off a cliff, with a tailwind?  Are you
87 with Florida tags? 8-).
