I guess ill never make the 800 club. i belong to another club and they do the per tank. i did belong to the honda crz club, they done the per tank. I dont like to let my vehicle set with a half or more empty tank because of condensation will allow water in the fuel. As a retired pilot/mechanic thats why you sump your tanks, preflight.
I do the 500 mile numbers, really didnt ask anyone to do the same. I dont know how the fuel pickup works on the mav but when your at the bottom, being the tank or the river your bound to pickup sediment. runnin out of gas is no fun.. years ago as a college CFI hauling a friend back from CHI i ran a cessna 150 out of gas, at night, and could see the beacon of the airport i wanted to land at. I knew i was low and the second the engine sputtered i already had the field picked out i was gonna land in.
This was my bird, once, on an oil platform 160 miles out in the gulf of mexico. There was a point and the flight out that was refered to a point of no return meaning of you didnt find your platform ( this was years before gps n all i had was a magnetic compass) you didnt have enough gas to make it back to the beach.
