Everytime I fill up the tank, I reset the mileage counter so I know how many miles I drive on a tank of gas.

It looked like the needle on the gas gauge was going down much faster than usual. So I went back to the gas station the next day and refilled it to see how much gas I really used in that 18 miles. It filled up with 2 gallons of fuel.
