Tank sixty-eight

Total miles: 25051. Trip miles: 436.7. Gallons: 8.685. Price per gallon: $1.679.

Screen mileage: 48.2 mpg. Tank mileage: 50.3 mpg.

Partly highway and partly short commutes to work. Temperatures have mostly been around 30 to 40°F.

When I had used around 8.5 gallons, the car gave a piercing beep and the last little square in the gas gauge indicator started blinking. It was alarming, although I suspect I had a couple of gallons of gas left. Fortunately, it wasn't long before I found a gas station with the lowest prices I've seen lately, so I could tank up.
