I've certainly learned not to trust that average miles per gallon thing in the instrument cluster.

It's usually approximately 1.5 miles per gallon too optimistic.

Use your own calculator, it does not lie.



Additionally, here in Cali we have vapor recovery nozzles on the gas pumps. I can't prove it, but believe some of them, if put on slowest speed, put in more gas than the car actually holds. In other words, they MAY suck back more than just fumes.
