I've seen some pretty wild fuel mileage claims on message boards, and I'm wondering how some people check their mileage. Some of them are so far-fetched I can't help but think they do something like this:
"Lets see, I've gone X amount of miles, my tank is X amount of gallons, I've used half a tank (according to the not-so-accurate fuel gauge), so that means I'm getting 35 MPG with my Turbo-blown, Super-chipped 9.5L Duratritonstrokemagnum V12 towing my 20,000lb Weekend Warrior!!!!"
