Can't wait to fill up the tank

beth_leonardI'm now gleefully looking forward to filling up my gas tank. I don't think I've done that since I was 16.
I bought a little iPhone app called "road trip" that will calculate my gas milage for me. Jon and I used to record all the data but never crunched the numbers to do anything with it. After we had kids we stopped doing that. I think I get about 25mpg on the minivan, but I want to know for sure. I also want to play with seeing whether or not the milage changes if I change the grade of gas we use, or get oil changes more frequently.
Luckily we're going on a road trip this weekend, so I'll have plenty of opportunities to fill up the tank in my near future.
I suppose I could always fill it when it's only half-full... but perhaps that's going a bit too far.

PS. If you're an iPhone/iPodTouch user and have a favorite gas app you think I should try, let me know. I went straight to the "pro" version of this one because it got good reviews and for $5 I didn't want to bother learning the lite version and switching over (also I think lite only handles one car) but I'm willing to try a few to begin with until I find one I like best.
