Since you owned an insight manual, i asume u know of those hybrid driving techs.
BTW why switch to fit? insite too slow or no radio or air conditioning making drive boring and hot  |
I think he meant that he was noting down the amount of gallons it took to fill back up on the gas pump when he filled up. If he's exact about driving 150 miles, or noting odo/trip meter readings, his method and your method are equivalent on paper. I'm qualifying the equivalent with on paper, since as we know there are other factors, like different gas stations cutting off at different points, etc.
I think we'll see more reliable numbers aggregated over a number of tanks - I personally would like to see a 5- or 10-tank average as people put that many miles on their cars.
