Default Re: Best mileage at beginning of tank?
I always thought that it was just my car doing extremely high mileage for the first 350KM (218mi) after i it fill up full tank with 37.5L(9.9gl). But i see some people are experiencing this too

I always get 4.2L/100KM(56MPG) for the first 350KM, and then after that the mileage value deteriorates to 4.9L/100KM(48MPG) by the time it reaches 800KM or 500mi when there's only one bar of fuel left. There's no change in my driving habits. I drive 95% city

My driving habits are conservative: meaning i dont really speed a lot unless i'm late for work, and i always leave the climate control with A/C on at 23.5C.

Actual hand calculated mileage at every fill is (37.5L at 800KM is 21.33Km/L or 50MPG).
