I have gotten this a few times, myself.

When I tell someone my lpmg is 53, they look at me sideways. When I tell them I have gotten over 800 miles on a tank, they plain call me a liar.

Even when I show them my log book, they still don't believe me. I even show them *Every* receipt for gas.

I know what mileage I get, and so does GH.
