My overall average MPG for the first year is 36.73.

Apparently Gassavers drops the earlier tanks and only shows the average for the recent tanks, because it is showing that I am averaging only 33.19 MPG. My mileage dropped off pretty severely during the winter months. The 36.73 is the true average for the whole first year of ownership. The range has been from 29.49 MPG to 43.55 MPG. The average price per gallon that I paid for the period was $2.505.

Best research ever!

Do you happen to have a log of, on average, how many miles you were able to drive on a tank of gas?

I don't like getting gas every 300 miles, but I dislike running out of gas even less!
