    Getting 10 gallons into the tank is no small feat in itself ;)

    You should have signed up for the Tour de Sol mileage competition,
    which I spammed multiple lists about a few weeks ago, and come up
    to Saratoga to put yer right foot where your fingers are. [boy,
    that came out weird]

    My first fillup was a whopping 10.24 gallons and 484 miles. I don't let it get that low any more.

    Don't know how I missed it. I could have made it to Saratoga on less than 1/2 a tank!

    Hopefully I'll notice next such event.

    I would like to organize a road rally some time. Over a course, time of course, can not exceed posted mph but you can drive at the mph for the segment, and best mpg for the course. I have not yet figured out a way to balance the three. I would like to add in obtuse directions that are riddles and such. That would add yet a fourth dimension. I will keep working on it.

    Been a week and a day since delivery and we still have two squares showing in our fuel guage. Do these things ever run out of gas or do you just trade them in with the residual???

    Well, I'm helping staff the mileage rally at TdS this year [although
    I'm totally new at this, only having been a participant last year],
    and will probably come home with plenty of lessons-learned. Which
    I'll be happy to dump into here if it helps similar events elsewhere.
