Thatd be much of many of my tanks, in small town driving, to and from work, lunch times, trips to the grocery stores or to restaurants for dinner, to friends houses.

all short, 5-10 min trips, and then back again.


Plus, when I do have 75% of tanks based on highway driving, im often speeding at 100km on hwy 26, or 100-140km on the 400 or 404 hwys, so that kills my MPG to.

I guess I just tell myself, well, my MPG may be bad (bc of the way I chose to drive), but if I'd gone w/ another car, it would just be WORSE still.

When i think of it like that, it doesnt bother me
