People lie because they in general are idiots. Nowadays social interaction is a lost art. People do not know basics anymore. Simple stuff you learn in the cub scouts. Be Kind, Curtious, Clean..... forgot the rest. I deal with lying douchebags that just make **** up out of the blue..... Sad but you just cant argue or enlighten ingnorant people.

A momentary blip on the MPG read out or downhill only confuse the issue. MPG to me is determined by filling up the tank, driving a certain distance then refilling the tank, dividing, miles driven by gals used, determining the answer.

The only way I'd get 36 MPG is if I filled up twice and pretended it was only one fill up like the 350Z driver.

A little comment on our "Z" fuel tank,anybody noticed,after filling full tank,the 1st Q of petrol can go 180km,after that the level will drop quickly,so far the max i can go is about 550km,is our fuel tank,top part much bigger.??

haha, yeah the first "dot" on my fuel gauge stays on for 50 miles, then the rest only stay on for 25 miles. That first 1/16th of the fuel tank must be twice as big as the rest
