2008-06-23 615 10.38 59.25 "Battery had bad cell. Maybe related to high under hood temps."
2008-07-07 320 5.401 59.25 "Fuel up for trip to Seatle."
2008-07-08 500 9.615 52 "Cool morining temps. Running 60-70. Long gradual hills with steeper decents requiring some braking."
2008-07-12 372 7.219 51.53 "Short trips around Seatle and back to Yakima."
2008-07-12 353 5.996 58.87 "Yakima to Meridian. The 127 mile leg from Baker City to Meridian had a little tailwind. Drafted a bit too. Steeper climbs with gradual decents this way. The 127 mile leg on Scangauge was 70 mpg at 59 mph ave in 100 degree afternoon and the calibration was spot on at fillup."
2008-08-08 645 10.53 61.25 "A bit more EOC. Driving faily hot."

2008-10-31 574 10.25 56 "Cooler. More short trips cause I sold the 99 SL. We have a lot of E10 in the area now."
2008-11-16 565 10.32 $2.13 54.75 "Sought out gas without ethanol for the fillup. Will see what that does to mileage. Problem is I have front pants now and I moved the IAT sensor into the water air heat exchanger. This will give about a 15 degree fake boost to intake air which will affect scangauge calibration. Yes multiple variables all at once."
2008-12-04 608 10.52 $1.71 57.79 "Hot water intake heater has not helped too much. New front wheel skirts. IAT in the heater for a bit of extra indicated intake heat. Also bought gas that is supposed to not have ethanol."
2009-01-06 557 10.03 $1.539 55.53 "Colder. Some snow and ice. Slick roads are hard for P&G. Still a decent tank considering. Filled up this time where I probably will get 10% ethanol. Will see how next tank does."

2009-04-25 612 10.31 $2.06 59.36 "Those smaller tires on the front made more difference than they should have. Ordered 2 Pirelli P6 tires of the same size but they are not on yet."
2009-05-16 602 10.72 $2.2 56.16 "Installed the Pirelli P6 tires sometime in this tank. They follow grooves in pavement and do not roll really round. Car often vibrates a little bit. Tried different wheels and rebalance. Would not recommend these tires but they do have low rolling resistance."
