Re: Tank life and gas mileage
Talk about annoying... I was having my best winter tank so far at 49.1 mpg with 110 miles on the tank. Last night, my wife had to take the car because she had no gas in her Honda Pilot. She went 17 miles each way (mostly freeway) to downtown Sac and back. This morning I get in my car and about have a heart attack when I saw in 34 miles she dropped my mpg down to 42.3! I am so pissed at her. She has now taken at least 20 miles off the current tank distance that I can go. It really urks me when she doesn't give a crap that I care about my mileage and mpg. I keep track of everything in Ultimate Car Desktop software. I looked at it the other night when I was putting in the lastest fillups. In 13,000 miles, she has spent $2,600 on gas in her Pilot (in 9 months, averaging 18mpg). In 14,500 miles, I have spent $980 on gas (in 9 months averaging 48mpg). We got the 2 vehicles brand new 2 weeks apart last April. She had the choice of getting a more fuel efficient vehicle, and she chose not to. With her driving style, she would get about 39-41mpg in the HCHII, but it's still better than 18!
