Yes. $58 for a full tank. I tried to top it off several times it would shut-off immediately.

Re: Interesting mileage observations.
Unfortunately all good things end fast. Tank is over.
328 miles from last fillup. 16.8 gallons went in.
Average of 19.5 mpg. Much worse than my 1st observation, however there are several factors to account for. This time city driving was more than 70% of the time. It has been cooking here for the past week, AC was constantly on. Traffic was bad every day of my commute. I was coming to work and leaving the same time everybody else does, not something I usually do. And finally showing around to visiting relatives implies hauling them around in the car. From my experience if I had 91 in it, I'd have averaged 14-15 mpg.
I will post more once I go to racetrack again. After 3-4 times my average should be a pretty adequate number as far as fuel economy improvement.
