I can see a 1,000 + mile tank in your future now
Me finding P&G useful? You might not remeber it but I mentioned it to you last year before the winter. I take the train instead of drving to work these days because my client site is downtown. So I'm mostly driving short trip during weekends. Mostly sub-10 mile each way, sometimes as low as 2-3 miles, in full city traffic. How else does one get 60mpg without some kind of pulse driving? :-)

As for the 1000+ mile tank, I've always said that the car can do it no problem. The real question is whether the driver can go that long non-stop. Multiple people sharing the driving would be much more practical I think (Dan might disagree though :-) Want to get a couple of guys togther and just do it?

Because I used the difference between 2 displays, I would think the error would be less then the overall percentage (64.8 mpg actual vs. 65.6 mpg display) but I really do not have a clue?
FWIW, my difference after 10,000km is 1.27%.
