p&g

ok today i did a 20 mile run going from 65-70 down to 45-50. after 20.6 miles i stoped at the gas station and checked my mileage it said 45.7. ok is 20 miles to soon or should i have waited to around 100 ish. 45 is insane for me ive never gotton close to that b4. should i enter it into the gas log or wait. keep in mind ive never done that much p&g and it was all highway and a tiny bit city with no stop lights (i timed them all).is this too good to be true guys ?

It is too soon, gas will expand in the tank during driving sometimes and cause error.

That's way too soon. Go at least to three gallons.

I've experimented tank to tank with P&G on my Honda though. It doesn't do anything because it doesn't coast well and is an auto.

How quickly did you accelerate after starting the motor? I don't remember it making any difference when I tried it in my Accord.

Ahh, where I am it's flat and I was EOC'ing. Maybe because of the bad aero of the Accord it will be more efficient to just drop it into N.
