Wow, that is indeed interesting. After a full tank, if you get anything close to those results, it would be even more remarkable.

I attempted to run my own test over the weekend, but my test was disrupted by: (1) huge wind and rain storm, and (2) spouse driving car for the first time. I will have to attempt another test under 'normal' conditions.
