    I did not have to worry about FMM at one year as I used up 1/2 my tank mostly on the first day of ownership when coming home from the dealership.

    Well, I have not fully cycled my battery in almost 1 year (18,500) miles. I have not noticed any range loss now compared to a year ago. I can still hit 50 miles range if I keep my speed down.

    I have had 10 EMMs in a row now. The average for me is 0.046 gallons for each EMM. In a given year one could have around 8 EMMs. This works out to around 0.3-0.4 gallons / year.

    It's actually 27,000 miles on the 4.5 gallons. Nearly all of that was burned in my first 3,000 miles and over half on the first day as I had to drive back from MD to VA. In the last 18,000 miles...

    Saw my first Tesla in the wild last Sunday (not at a charging station).
