3 of 3. Idea failed, 1/2 mpg below average. Will try again as wife was driving quite a bit and her MPG is always lower than mine.

Last 2 tanks was a test, I did 3 partial fills of 5 gallons before refilling completely. I split into 2 tanks because it would have given me best tank ever though not real. The car seems to get the best MPG the emptier I run the tank. This test was to see if running the tank below half tank all the time would give higher than normal mpg. Over 850 miles it did get 1.1 mpg better than the running average. Too be continued another 1000 miles.
