MPG increase

[wally_games]

I notice a difference in mileage depending on which gas formulation I'm getting. The Metroplex area has a lot more of the "stuff" added to its gas than what I can buy out in the country. I believe the amount of ethanol in the gas makes a difference too.

The low fuel sensor should be quite reliable and repeatable unless something happened to yours specifically like it broke loose. Even at that it is doubtful it broke loose and settled into a new place just a bit lower than it was before.

As to the leg thing, two words: Texas catheter. And make sure it is long enough or you will just move the problem from your leg to your boot....

Please note, dear readers, that lather did not suggest any correlation between the MT90 and improved gas mileage. If you ask me it is more likely due to an change in the magnetic fields brought on by lunar influences exacerbated by a marked increase in the number of werewolves howling at the moon.

But seriously, I agree the accuracy of calculating mpg by the amount of fuel added to the tank is limited by multiple variables unless you use the same pump every time, which I don't. While there may be some good reasons why the Low Fuel sensor system is a less reliable benchmark I have not heard any nor can I think of any that would invalidate a consistent change over 5 tankfuls.

And Brian, my leg does occasionally get damp at fuel stops but it has more to do with fluid drainage than fuel fill-ups.
