June 13, 2009 odometer 113,971

1. refuel: ending mileage 113,971 ran 371.4 miles. St Louis trip up and back on the same tank all interstate probably ½ hour of idling which is probably typical for all tanks of fuel 55 mph
2. Also of note ending fuel gauge reading was right at ¼ tank, tank supposedly holds 37 gallons meaning there was 7.3 gallons left in the tank, assuming 2 gallons is unusable there is a 5 gallon reserve at the ¼ tank mark which should yield conservatively 60 miles of drive time. I refuel to the top of filler neck which may give slightly more drive time but hopefully I will never have to find out. Total tank range is therefor: 431 miles
3. 29.679 gallons @ $2.519 = $74.76
4. 12.51 MPG
