I guess it all depends on how long you take to get it from 60 to the ton,
on your private test track of course..... 
0.5 seconds.
Thats what it felt like anyway.
I suppose we put a few extra mile on running up the road and back too.
Ive filled it, and reset the trip counter, so ill see what it gets milage wise back down to a quarter tank.

Ooh! A Fart-dater.

How does that work then? D'you save them in a jar and stick a probe in there to give a rough idea of their vintage?

Nice toy, but not as accurate as checking brim-to-brim and doing the sums.
Watch the young lad with the dark hair if you fill it at the Shell on Beach Road, he once tried to charge me £99 for a tankful when I filled the Dolly there.

This is my forth 300 in a year and a half Dan.
Also had a 406 and a Fiesta in there too.
I really must start keeping cars longer.

LMAO @ the Elastoplasts!
Just be lighter on the loud pedal. It takes time to adjust to the constant-engine-note-but-still-accelerating phenomenon. Although I have to admit to resist the temptation of giving it some beans....
