Wow, just wow...
This afternoon, I was at the Medical Arts/Services Center (ie. Professional Office Building for Physicians). I parked my '08 Accord in the parking-garage's ground-floor, as I always do.
I return a few hours later and proceed to get on the highway. I noticed the "Attention: fuel-cap" display flashing on my instrament panel (this denotes that the fuel-cap isn't properly affixed to the gas-tank opening). I found this to be quite odd as I hadn't put gas in the car for about a week nor opened the fuel-tank door.
I had about 1/3 tank prior to parking in the garage. Immediately leaving the garage, I observed the fuel-gauge needle well below "E" and the low-fuel light flashing as well.
I goto the gas-station and fill-up the tank. I calculated my fuel-economy/gas-mileage (I generally keep my past receipts and reset the trip-computer)... it was about ~22mpg. That is well below my ~29mpg average for this car.
I assume 'someone' siphoned about 3-4 gallons or more of regular unleaded from me, this afternoon!?!
