Monday’s drive was just to go fill up the Miata. We had 700 points (or 70 cents off a gallon) that expired in three days and we didn’t want to lose them. Stats: 198.6 miles traveled, 7.869 gallons at $4.879 per (instead of$5.579) for an average of 25.24 MPG.
For whatever reason this fill up was marred by the fact that the pump kept auto shutting off like the tank was full. After it happened the first time at 3 something gallons the poor guy had to just stand there and actually man the pump. He was hesitant to keep feeding the car fuel because he didn’t want to over fill the tank. I told him it should take about 8 gallons, so he just kept squeezing and waiting for it the shut off, repeating it numerous times, maybe five times until it got close to eight.
