I drove to a remote work site and when I got home noticed I'd been 440 miles since my last gas fill, so I filled it and only needed 9.5 gallons. Getting about 46 MPG on that tank. This is more than normal, but was more highway than normal with the work trip and the pick-n-pull trip Saturday. Must have been the right weather too, been in the low 70s. Also, I normally run the recommended 26PSI in my tires but upped it to 30 on the pick-n-pull trip incase I got some heavy parts in the back. I've gotten 42MPG with normal pressure and a little more city mixed it, but 46 is my new record for a tank.
