I found it out after my usual trek from college to home is about 50 miles. its a bunch of semi highway/backroads. Usually I netted 20-21 mpg. Not too shabby. After the fix I've been driving from school and work and also made a few stops and I noticed my gauge wasnt going down. So I filled up and checked it. 24.7. I'm like wtf.
