Holy Geez!!!!!

Well, I finally got "un-lazy'' and decided to calculate my gas mileage and this is what I got:: 8 MPG!!!!

Here's how I got it::
- Distance from My House in KC to Manhattan:: 113 Miles
- Size of Gas Tank:: 19 Gallons
- Amount of Tank Used Getting to Manhattan:: 3/4 Tank
- Gas Tank Upon Leaving:: Full

113 miles/14.25 (3/4 of 19gal.) = 7.929824561...

Y'all, I don't care WHO you are, THAT'S BAD!!!

Wow

Man that kind of mpg really blows. Take down your miles at fillups for a couple times and figure it that way to see if it improves. Chances are at 1/4 tank you really had more gas in it then you figured.
