    I have grown used to the oddities of the bladder (not mine, though now over 50..well).

    Anyway, the last tank, I was in a normal 55-56 for the tank.. I filled up, unusual for me, after a day of driving on one of the hottest days of the year (about 100f). I usurally fill up in the AM. Though it just went to 1 bar blinking, it took 11.55 gallons!!

    Again, I realize that with the bladder & conditions, it can cause you to be way off on a single tank, but this was waaaay off. Now, on this new tank, I was at over 200 miles before the 1st bar even disappeared..

    Over a few tanks, I will be my summer avg of 55 - 56 I am sure... but the two things were more out of line than I have seen yet.

    seems like the perfect conditions to go for a big personal record in distance travelled on a single tank... bump that MPG up a bit more to help!
