Doesn't seem like my grill block helped either so that will be coming off for the sake of testing again without it over the next couple tanks. I'm trying to keep the same driving habits I was using when I first signed up but maybe I am starting to get lazy with them. Also my cruise control has been acting up so I have been doing a lot more foot driving/speed wondering."
