Originally posted by LS1 TAThe the tanks hold 16.7 gallons, I believe, and I always fill it up at about the same spot with about 13.2 gallons going into the tank before the pump cuts itself off. I just assumed dividing the miles on that tank by the gallons I put in would give me my miles per gallon.
LT4KM, 160' TS, MAF ends, TB-BP, GMPP 1.6 R/R, SLP CAI, LCA, Adj. tierod, BMR tower brace, 17x9"F/R, 275/40R17 GY F1 tires. WS6 Muffler, LS1 DS. 21mm rear sway bar. Soon to be LT4 heads, intake, & HOT cam

Granted, these differences are not huge but they could account for a couple of tenths of a gal. difference in your Full tank.
Plus, I'm assuming you never top-off your tank? I usually do, and depending on the station/pump/conditions I can fit anywhere from .25 to 1.5 gal extra in my tank after it has auto shut off.

Originally posted by sneitzelWhile that will give you a pretty close approximation of a "full" tank, realize that the backflow/back pressure device on each pump is going to react differently. Not only is each nozzle going to react differently, the reaction on an individual nozzle can vary from day to day depending on the ambient temperature and the number of other people filling up at the same time (which will more than likely change the flow rate of fuel out the end of the nozzle) among other factors.

You guys need to calculate average mileage. Fill up to the top of the tank. reset the trip meter. Drive until whenever you feel like doing a refill. Record the mileage and start over. Do this 10 times, total up the gallons used and the miles traveled. You'll be close to your acual average mileage. That's the only way to get a good reading.
