Adair burned 13.21 gallons and still had something left??? (according to the gauge anyway) Weird...Yeah, it had been doing weird stuff all day. Marathon training course had some serious hills on the outbound. At one point it said I was something like 73 MTE and I was in yellow. The next time, after the next water station, it said 108 and was back in white. At the end it had just flipped over to red and said I had 24 more MTE. I dunno, maybe my aliens were helping me out. I didn't want to push my luck in case the gauge was wrong so I filled up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adair Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 FWIW, both this tank and the last one, which was my previous best of 558 were both with premium gas. And I have the 3.5.1 upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, both this tank and the last one, which was my previous best of 558 were both with premium gas. And I have the 3.5.1 upgrade.Ssss...according to some posters, there is NO difference between Premium and Regular. Don't disturb the ZEN in that Lake of Wisdom, no ripples or falling leaf...ssshh.

Adair Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yeah, I see what you mean. I just re-read it. I also read where, on or about April 24, you doubted that 750 was possible :salute: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adair Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Based on this last tank, I think the MTE must be a fluid # based on your most recent driving conditions/habits....most recent as in *the last trip*, and it can go up or down depending on whether you had hills/no hills, highway miles/surface streets, lotsa chances to cruise or none. So each trip can change the final outcome. I know the gallons used is a fixed #. Someone with more knowledge than I have, chime in here......am I right in my thinking?

catsailor Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 congrats Adair, you flew to outer space and did not burn up upon re-entry :) Now you can cross this one off your bucket list, it makes what Jus and Matt do at +800 and 700 miles per tank seem like child's play now that you broke +600 miles. Glad you filled up when you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
