So you get maybe a half gallon more in. At a savings of $.50 a gallon you save $.25. Is it worth it? Pay for one canister or purge valve and you wont be driving long enough to make up the differance. I just dont see the point. Fill on slow setting untill it clicks off and check mileage once a month and you wont be able to get more accurate than that.

And I actually get 2 gallons in after it clicks off usually.

I just got back from North Adams Mass (new MP3 player).
I gassed up as I was leaving.
101 miles at mostly 55MPH.
36.3 MPG
I get about 31.5 average in it, mostly highway and long backroads.
I avoid cities like the plague.
Get it? cities = plague

My wife & I just got back this past monday, from a road trip out west to South Dakota, Wyoming & Colorado & we averaged 29.9 for the whole 3,122 mile trip. At some point early on, I wound it up a lil past 120 mph, but the top end is weak. On a auto SS, the ac. only robs 1-2 mpg.
The best mileage I ever got was like 37.1 when i was "babying " it on Michigan's 70mph hghways, while doin' about 63 mph from Grand Rapids to St. Ignace. Thats over 200 miles.
