I've got a number of fuel ups to add to mine. I assume the banners posted here update when data is entered. SmartDigger, you must have a lead foot (like me).

Maybe the Cabriolets make you drive in a "sportier" fashion?

You folks on Fuelly are the only ones we can trust when you get cars with such high mileage. It became obvious to me the other day during a fill up. My wife had made a trip to Chicago and wanted to know how she did on here trip. 277 miles, 2 bars left.

I went to the gas station and filled up to first click. At that point I was at 43 MPG, I wait a few seconds and go to a second click, now I’m at 40MPG.

Now if I was filling my F150 one click more would just mean .2 more MPG.

A little goes a long way and the averaging of Fuelly over time sure makes a difference. We are just not anal enough in our family to keep track of every fill up.
