Default Unusual tank - for me

I had a very unusual tank this time. Last week I "rolled" through a stop sign, but I had slowed down enough for auto stop to kick in. After I got through the stop sign I noticed auto stop was still engaged. I ended up rolling, up to 20 miles per hour, with auto stop engaged for 1 to 2 blocks. I had to turn a corner and slowed down to turn the corner and I had to let off the brake enough to start the engine. Auto stop does not like to start when you are rolling as much as I was !

The second interesting thing that happened this tank was the FCD actually went up after I had traveled over 500 miles. Some of you may have experienced that before, but my experience has been that I can go down, but never up. But as you can see from the last tank it was not as great a tank as the FCD indicated.
