i wouldn't be surprised if many of my mpg calculations are off by a gallon or more on some fill-ups
some pumps shut off under different pressurization.
some are calibrated wrong
it seems the only way i can be sure is if my car is sputtering into the station...
and then i fill it up until gas comes out the nozzle
thats about 11.5 gallons

Thanks, I was wondering about this. Most I've gotten in is about 11.1 gallons I believe, so I guess I was pretty low! I agree, though, the VX is very hard to fill up to the same place each time you go to the pump. Not sure if its a quirk specific to the VX or something all cars are plagued by.
