pump errors on small fill-ups
We've all seen it here before. People fill up 1 gallon, or even 2 gallons and they suddenly have 10 more MPG then they've ever had before. Some peope have filled up less than a gallon and have experienced great fuel economy...
Over time the law of averages evens out people's gaslogs, so it isn't much to worry about.
I would like to discuss however how and why this happens. How many gallons must you fill up in order to eliminate this bizarre occurance?
At the suggestion of ThisIsntJared I'm going to make a regression plot to see if there is in fact a correlation between number of gallons filled and gas mileage. I suspect that there will not be one, but it's worth a shot.
