The car does not have a 21 gallon tank. The previous tank I did not top off, this one I did. This car is consistent, I'll give it that. Or maybe it's my driving that is consistent. Cooler weather is coming, and again I'll be shooting for the 40 mpg mark!

80% highway, I could have gone for 800 miles easy but I'm going to have no time to fill up this week. The 50mpg grail continues to elude me!

Driving the TDI makes filling up this car painful. It's still a blast to drive! I figure I'd enter it in the competition to make everyone else feel great!
