.07%/day *is* almost no evaporative loss

I didn't know about the mileage underreporting in the odometer, but I like it!

So, as the bottom line, it seems that the 2% odometer under-reporting and the ~1% evaporation taken together account for pretty much all of the difference in computer vs. hand-calculated mpgs.
