Considering that the tank on the 126 holds a little over 23.5
gallons then depending how far you pushed you may have been
getting around 23 MPG or less. Can't tell unless you actually
fill to the same point every time and keep track of the miles and
amount.
I usually fill right to the top of the filler neck, the few times
I don't I put NF on the slip so I remember to combine the amounts
when I figure the mileage at the next fillup.

I took a road trip this weekend. I had been getting only a bit below 300 miles
per tank doing normal town driving and local 30 mile one way trips. I filled
up just before I got on the highway and was very happy to get almost 500 miles
on the tank before I chickened out and filled it back. That is nice.
The engine and trans did a good job (OM617) of climbing mountain passes and keeping up with traffic all the way. At times she even crept up to 83mph, but I tried to keep her under 75.
Allen is going to the body shop in the morning. Maybe she comes back better
than before.
