Nicely done. My record is 18.64 gallons. I hit zero dots all the time. It is very rare when I fill up less than 17.5 gallons.

You probably could have gotten at least another 10-15 miles out of it provided there were no right turns

Dude I wish I could pay $72.xx for 19 gallons worth of gas. I filled up about 17.3 just the other day and it cost me $85 bucks.

Gotta love Cali... lol I think I paid $4.69/gallon or something like that. And of course the day after I fill up all the prices dropped like $.10/gallon lol.

That was in CA just a while ago.

The CA gas prices shot up because there is a "shortage" of resources to make gas and the Mobil refinery in Torrance closed now. Give it 2 weeks or so, it will go down again

Yeah I know, I read about it, I actually live maybe 10 minutes from that refinery in Torrance as well. Closed due to the explosion that happened a couple weeks back. Still trying to fix things from what I was told from a friend of mine that works there.

Once the shortage stops the gas will go back down and once the refinery is back to working status it will drop again hopefully. Around Memorial Day I was reading about how if things went smoothly this summer (which it never does with gasoline) that gas was supposed to come down from the rough $4.00/gallon down to around $2.75-$3.00 by Labor Day in September. It'd be nice to see gas prices like that again haha
