    Just put in my 9th tank today. The light started blinking yesterday. I forgot to check the DTE, but it was probably around 7-8 miles left, if I had to guess. It clicked off at ~8.5 but I managed to get in 8.794 gallons (and yes, I like to top off because that could mean another week of not going to the gas station)

    Here are my previous fills:

    1. <dealer tank>
    2. 9.095
    3. 7.276
    4. 8.653
    5. 8.252
    6. 8.463
    7. 8.751
    8. 8.765
    9. 8.794 (today)

    So average fill up for me has been 8.506 gallons

    I'm amazed by you guys as some of you keep track of how many gallons per fill-up down to the 3rd decimal. Or is there a way to see that on on screen?

    In my case (and I assume most others), I just get it off the pump/receipt

    I figured, but I don't even take my receipts from the pump let alone keeping them. Maybe I should start.

    if you put your stats into the spreadsheet, it's motivation for keeping good records.

    Ya, I just take the receipt. That way I can enter it into my mileage spreadsheet as well as my budget spreadsheet (I keep track of every penny I spend and make).

    In the last fillup, I filled 8.94 and that was the highest in 1 year of owning PiP, I was wondering if I was testing my luck. I guess the capacity is 9.5g. I do get bit of range anxiety when I see the last bar blinking. But lot of times, I dont pay attention on when it started.
