Thats weird, you only have a 25 gallon tank!
you may want to check to see if the gas pumps there are accurate!

I have done the same thing and squeezed in 26 gallons but the way they are talking gas will be in the $3.00 range by mid summer I hope not I made mine a daily driver for now and it takes a lot of extra money away from mods

I've stopped caring about high gas prices and it's done wonders for my stress and anxiety levels.

I look at it this way. When it reached 2 bucks I was all freaked, when it was at 2.30 I freaked more...but that didn't stop prices from continuing to go up and I had to continue filling up with gas anyway....

Even thoguh I worried about gas, prices continued to go up....

Then came 2.49 then 2.59 then 2.69 and now where it is at 2.79....

and you know...no matter how much I let it bother me, my worry/anxiety/depression/fits/etc. over high gas prices did not prevent the oil companies from raising the prices even more...

so I decided to say "whatever" and just ignore it.

When it goes to 3 dollars a gallon I'll still be filling up, but now I won't let it bother me.

When it goes to 5, and 6, and 7 dollars a gallon, I'll still fill up and say "whatever" and I won't be bothered becasue all the angst does not stop the rising cost of oil.

So enjoy the high gas prices. I am, and it's working out a lot better this way.

Cheers!

It's not caring or feelings that motivate company leaders and politicians. It's actions! Spend your money and vote accordingly.

Back to topic. 26 gallons! Dude you had to be seconds from walking...

Man I am not sure what you are suggesting but I do believe that you've opened one major can of worms with that statement.
Put your flame suit on.
