Worse mpg the more I drive
Last week I filled up 3 gallons. About 1/3 of a tank and got ~40 mpg. This week I filled up like 3/8s of a tank and get 32.x mpg.
Why is it the longer I wait to fill up, the worst gas mileage I get?

because fuel gauges aren't accurate.
I always wait till way after my fuel light comes on. I know how many miles I can get to a full tank, and I use as many as I can get away with.

Ya, but that doesn't really apply to him becuase he fills the tank up and reads the receipt, lol.

So why fill up when you only need 3-6 gallons???
