There is a whole lot of wisdom in those statements. The effect of gearing and such is obvious---but the effect of many other things is not so apparent. Since I record every tank--complete with notes about the driving conditions--I am amazed by the effect of such things as head winds, outside temperature, driving speed, length of trip and type of fuel. When it is really cold it can take 30-45 minutes of driving until it is warmed up--and for that time my indicated mileage will drop, and then begin to recover. While I get slightly better overall performance on Flying J most major brands are pretty much the same---as long as they are fresh. The worst part is running north in the winter. I fuel in Ga and then again in southern VA---and it is all down hill for mileage (and up hill for cost) after that :(
