Same station, same higher fill level. It's 8 cents more, so back to the old station for the next fill. |

Installed new rotors and pads halfway through this tank, so expected a bit less mileage, but it's good so far. Also replaced the driver's axle because it was clicking. |

Almost exactly the same conditions as last fillup: 30-45 degree temps, ferrying the family around the mountain, some stop-and-go, and yet I got my first 500-mile tank! I'm nominating that new vacuum gauge for some kind of award. |

Cold weather continues to clobber me. Jury-rigged the vacuum gauge about 70 miles before the end of this tank, so we'll see if I can do something about all this. |

Short fill because of a really cheap station. Near-freezing weather and a lot of cold starts and around-the-mountain driving with the family in the car conspired to kill mileage this fill. |
