Assuming we trust the fuel pump reading and they arn't scamming a gallon here and there. This post reminded me of something my ex husband used to do...he'd never squeeze the gas pump handle all the way when filling the tank, but would fill it very slowly. He always said that if you fill the tank fast, you get foam on top, and even though you fill the tank to the point of back splash, it's not really full once it settles. Now, over the years, I learned to only believe half of what he said, and since the divorce, I always pump the gas at full force!! Any thoughts on this? -Lauren ___________ ||E[__] [__]|[_]\\ | =======| - || * * * =( o )--------( o )=p '85 |
