Damn. That's a chunk.

And that was still for under $3 a gallon....just barely under $3 but still.....I think it was around $2.89.....but I did what I said I was gonna stop doing.....drive til there is only one little light on the dash!

I've heard a lot of people say that we're suppose to have another "Shortage" in November. Doesn't seem to wise to me in an economy like this.

I always thought we had a 20 gallon tank....seems its only 19....I put in 18.12 gallons....I was closer to empty than I thought!

I know its horrible on an engine but I wonder if anyone has run the engine dry yet on the Z?

thats not good to do y0, i always fill around half.

also, in winter time..... as the tank empties, there is more air in the tank....right??
which can cause condensation and screw up ur day.....lol

so now its a habit of mine to fill at the half point.

Yeah, I had been going no lower than 1/4 tank but I went to Altered this past weekend and was already at 1/4 tank....didn't expect to loose 3 lights on the gauge in a 60 mile round trip, either.

u got a heavy foot??

also, tanks never fill to full capacity.... fills to 80% usually.

What about those couple of times I kept squeezing the pump until it overflowed down the side of the car? I hit max capacity then!

Could have been an air bubble shifting around the top, the pressure made it shift and helped shoot some gas out of the tank.

Very similar to the air bubble in "Das Boot"

wait.....hold the phone......hold the mayo......hold the door open.....stop the presses......pause the game....hold the horses.....keep the windows open..... unplug the toaster..... open the microwave door.... let the pie cool off....
the bad mph is because of the dynos and billion mods u did recently. also, u do have a heavy foot with that cast on it

case solved
