+1 My fave is when petrol folks come around talking ab how they must be getting 36 MPG b/c the gas gauge is at 1/2 tank (or 3/4, or 1/4 or ANYTHING but empty) and they've traveled x # of miles.

So, like a gauge at 1/2 full on a 3.0i and an trip odo at 310 miles means you're going to defy the laws of physics and travel 620 miles on that tank? Or the OBC says you have 300 miles to empty so you MUST be getting 610 miles on the tank? Yeah... get back to us at empty. And don't forget the pics!
