Filled up to recalibrate my Scangauge, I did so correctly this time. I tried to get the worst economy possible because I didn't want to fill a tank that was 100% full. Mission accomplished I guess. Filled up at ARCO on Lake Forest Dr. in Lake Forest, CA.

I think the pump shut off early last fill, unfortunately it really screwed me up for this tank. Filled up early because I was trying to calibrate my Scangauge - but I messed up so will probably fill up later today. Filled up at Valero in Costa Mesa, CA on Harbor.
