What is the practise here? Should I just remove my 1st tank, and make my 2nd tank the 1st?
Personally, I wouldn't mind but when I asked the same question back in January, the concensus was the first tank was important data and should be kept. In my case, it delayed hypermiler status by two weeks but I still think there should be "first tank forgiveness."
