Did 8+ hours of driving today. Did not expect to make the entire trip on one tank.

I was going to refuel before the return trip, but when I realized I had a little over half a tank, I had to give it a go.

Ballsy. Every car I’ve driven on a road trip has this thing where the second half of the tank goes by faster than the first.

Be cause the float hits the top of the tank before the tank is completely full, because it floats, so you can use a gallon or two of gas depending on the tank before the float actually starts to lower.

Wow. You’ve got a little readout telling you your MPG and everything. Whenever I want to do that, I have to do very guessy math. :P

Moments like this are what makes me wonder why anyone would ever want to have a big-ass truck as their day-to-day vehicle. I would get so very tired of the gas station.

The less math I have to do the better. :)

This does have a 22.2 gallon fuel tank and requires premium($3.70 right now)!   I t’s still better than a truck getting 12mpg, but l ong trips like this does make me miss my VW with it s 55mpg and dang near 700 mile range on a tank.

22 gallon fuel tank is ginormous . And yeah, it’d be nice to get 55 anytime, but the thought of driving stick in this madhouse is just more than I could take.

Ye gods, no. I made a decision loooong ago that if I was going to live here, among these cretins, in constant stop and go and swerve and slam on the brakes type traffic , that would not be a smart option. Fuel economy is not worth some risks.

Right? That busted ankle I got from the stupid icy stairs here would preclude it, if nothing else .

I think it may have been pre-Kinja, but it comes back to screw with me at the most inopportune moments.

Ok. I thought it was recent and I forgot. I don’t feel so bad anymore.
