-----------------
What were the weather conditions going to and from destinations?� Did you 
have a headwind or a tailwind?� Was one way more uphill/downhill than the other?
-----------------

On a trip to the Grand Canyon from Phoenix, which was mostly uphill, I 
started on a full tank and had to stop for more gas on the way there.  That second 
tank of gas got me the rest of the way to the canyon, then all the way home 
without another stop.  I can't remember specifically, but I think the MPG going 
was 19, MPG coming back was 26.  Or something like that.  Of course, different 
gas pumps have different shut-off sensitivity, so take that grain of salt with 
it.
