2009-07-06 359.8 mi. 10.75 US gal $2.56 33.47 US Parents drove terribly for 80 miles. Had a trip of 44 miles at 44 mpg. Could've easily been 38mpg tank.

$2.75 - $27.71
2009-05-16 357.5 mi. 10 US gal $2.29 35.75 US Took skirts off during the week, with just short trips. Lots of stupid city driving and bad weather brought this tank down. I'm also going to quit filling up gas up with an extra click.
Also think that I've got some bad wheel bearings.
$2.29 - $23.00 BP
2009-05-03 328.6 mi. 9.287 US gal $2.05 35.38 US Pretty sure last fill was under. Too much bs driving on this tank. Had most trips at +40 though. Best being 45.6mpg for 30 miles.

$2.05 - $19.12 Knox BP
2009-04-26 350.1 mi. 9.367 US gal $1.94 37.38 US Re did grill block, half side skirts, and partial under tray. Changed acceleration rate. Less short trips. -10 miles biking.

$1.94 - $18.26 Knox BP
2009-04-12 335.5 mi. 9.74 US gal $1.99 34.45 US Getting almost 40 on most trips now. It's the city driving and short trips bringing me down. Switched back to normal gas station.

$1.99 - $19.47
2009-03-29 293.2 mi. 8.528 US gal $2.05 34.38 US Warmer weather! Scan guage had gallons used spot on, but mpg +1 because of speed difference I think.

$2.05 - $17.56 Philips 66
2009-03-12 333.2 mi. 10.43 US gal $1.82 31.95 US Got pretty cold again for a while. Bit more city driving than usual. Took side skirts off towards middle of tank or so. Trying harder to drive better.

$1.82 - $19.07 Philips 66
2009-02-20 333.3 mi. 10.61 US gal $1.69 31.41 US Filled at different station because it was cheaper, but it pumped more gas than other station. When I left, normal station had gone down in price. Go figure. Should've been closer to 33.5. Was 34, but driving to school with 10 degree starts ruined that. Looks like I'm going to out do my goal of less than 2 tanks of gas for this month. Still have enough gas for almost 300 miles for only 5 days.

$1.69 - $18.02 Phillips 66
2009-02-01 350.7 mi. 10.98 US gal $1.75 31.94 US Weather wasn't nearly as bad, more city driving than usual.

$1.75 - $17.55 (Knox BP) + 1 @ 1.89 (Family Express)
2009-01-22 366 mi. 11.52 US gal $1.88 31.77 US First tank with wheel skirts. Still pretty good considering negative temps and snow all tank. Having to drive to school last few days probably dropped tank 1 mpg.

$1.88 - $ 19.87 +1 @ $1.85
2009-01-09 341.1 mi. 10.1 US gal $1.91 33.77 US Scanguage had it at 35.5+. I think I might have filled it up higher. Still proud of this tank. First tank with properly functioning partial under tray. Almost 100 percent highway.

$1.91 - $19.39 Knox BP
2008-12-29 381.9 mi. 12.48 US gal $1.62 30.6 US Partial cardboard undertray that wasn't working very well. Terrible weather conditions. Transmission fluid flush.

$1.62 - $16.98 (Knox BP) + $1.59 - $3.20 (LaCrosse BP) = 23.36
2008-12-09 275.9 mi. 9.233 US gal $1.59 29.88 US Upsetting tank. I had to idle a lot because the battery died, kept trying to jump start the car. Also didn't pump quite the same as usual so i put more gas in on accident.

$1.59 - $14.76 Knox BP
2008-11-30 316.5 mi. 9.3 US gal $1.74 34.03 US $1.74 - $16.27 Knox BP
2008-11-15 383.7 mi. 11.28 US gal $1.93 34.02 US Trying a bit harder


$1.93 - $19.93 Knox BP + 1 Gal @ 2.09
2008-11-07 270 mi. 8.431 US gal $2.15 32.02 US I think I've gotten lazy with trying to keep mpgs up. Plus 40 miles a week of 2.5 mile trips is terrible for mpg.

$2.15 - $18.20 Knox BP
2008-10-26 371.9 mi. 11.04 US gal $2.54 33.69 US $2.54 - $26.85 (+$1.34) Knox BP
2008-10-18 361.6 mi. 10.13 US gal $2.85 35.7 US $2.85 - $28.97 Knox BP
2008-10-10 336.1 mi. 10.13 US gal $2.99 33.18 US $2.99 - 30.39 Knox 66
2008-10-03 385.6 mi. 10.45 US gal $3.53 36.9 US Accelerating just a bit slower.

$3.53 - $36.99 Knox BP
2008-09-24 296 mi. 8.306 US gal $3.75 35.64 US Weather wasn't as bad. I think I'm accelerating just a bit too fast.

$3.75 - $31.22 Knox BP
2008-09-18 399.1 mi. 11.25 US gal $3.99 35.48 US Bad weather is coming =[

1 gallon at $4.39

$3.99 - $41.01 Knox BP + $4.39 Westville FE
2008-09-07 359 mi. 9.117 US gal $3.69 39.38 US Wasn't nearly as hot out. Trying to change acceleration technique.

$3.69 - $33.72 Knox BP
2008-08-27 378.7 mi. 10.25 US gal $3.69 36.95 US I'm pretty sure last tank was a short fill because I switched back to gas station in my town.

$3.69 - $37.93 Knox BP
2008-08-15 393 mi. 9.527 US gal $3.89 41.25 US $3.89 - $37.15 Knox BP
2008-08-05 431.5 mi. 10.5 US gal $3.89 41.1 US Tank had stp additive just because. First full tank with synthetic. Didn't really try on this tank too much. Scanguage helped on short trips though. Modified air intake around 300 miles.

$3.89 - $40.96 Westville

End July
2008-07-27 392.8 mi. 9.651 US gal $3.88 40.7 US First full tank with scanguage, 5 percent optimistic. Mom used gallon of gas at 30 mpg though which brought down numbers. Working on technique of acceleration still. Synthetic 5w20 at 340 miles.

$3.88 - $37.53 Westville
2008-07-20 380.9 mi. 9.668 US gal $4.02 39.4 US Got scanguage half way through, but mom had already put about 40 miles of city on which probably brought brought mpg down a lot.

$4.02 - $38.95 Westville
2008-07-16 384.5 mi. 9.519 US gal $4.17 40.39 US Added another gallon at 4.19 because I thought I had to drive further, but didn't. Almost all highway at 55. Possibly more EOC. Filled up after hotcorner/mom.

$4.19 & $4.17 - $35.60 Knox BP
2008-07-06 318.9 mi. 8.075 US gal $4.09 39.49 US Drove half at 50 or under and the other half at 55. Almost no city driving. I hit 3/4 tank earlier than normal, not sure about the previous fill up. Would've been over 40 had I not done a second click of the pump. Genuinely upset this isn't 40+

$4.09 - $33.11 Knox BP
2008-07-02 178 mi. 4.277 US gal $4.25 41.62 US Miles are a guess, thanks mom -_- Short tank because she needed car. Drove 55. 60 for about 30 miles; some drafting. Drove 50 about 20 miles to attempt to make up for driving 60. Less windows down overall. Caulked lights.

End June.

$4.25 - $18.22
2008-06-27 202 mi. 4.991 US gal 40.47 US Top speed 55. Less windows down. Slightly more city driving than previous. Did extra click fill as it seemed rather short of a fill. Previous fill is questionable.

$4.02 - $20.11
2008-06-22 220.9 mi. 5.155 US gal 42.85 US Drove True 50/55. Probably good 50 miles were at 50mph. 90 percent highway driving. Driver window down usually.

$4.05 - $20.92
2008-06-19 220.1 mi. 5.745 US gal 38.31 US 60 top speed. No A/C, little windows down. 99 percent highway. Great weather.

$4.09 - $23.30
2008-06-13 277.5 mi. 7.86 US gal 35.31 US Drove 60/65 mostly. No ac. Some windows down. All highway except for around 50 miles of which mom drove/probably ruined tank.

$4.18 - $32.93
2008-06-08 301.2 mi. 8.256 US gal 36.48 US Drove mostly 60, short 65 trip. AC/or windows down. Lots of EOC.

$4.08 - $33.76
2008-06-01 154.8 mi. 4.344 US gal 35.64 US Filled up earlier because I had a gas card I wanted to finish off and because it was end of month. Drove 60, less short neutral shifts, ac on during acceleration. More "summer" type driving.

End May.

$4.04 - $17.59
2008-05-26 281.3 mi. 7.7 US gal 36.53 US Had car idle for close to 10 minutes as was trying to fix radiator leak. Some driving wasn't even attempting to drive good(in a hurry). Good weather? Great tank some how....

$3.98 - $30.72
2008-05-19 217.9 mi. 6.079 US gal 35.84 US Typical driving, maybe a few more short trips than normal. Threw in excessive amounts of neutral coasting though.

$3.85 - $23.53
2008-05-11 244.1 mi. 7.051 US gal 34.62 US Went over 55 for one trip; was in a hurry. Mom drove 30 miles city driving.

$3.79 - $26.79
2008-05-09 257.4 mi. 7.402 US gal 34.77 US Typical driving habits.

$3.81 - $28.27
2008-05-03 219.8 mi. 5.644 US gal 38.94 US Not sure how this is my best tank yet. Kept under 55 for majority. 20 miles at 60. Got lost said ehh went 60 even more. Maybe because I was driving for 2 1/2 hours? Got stuck in mud only 2 minutes or so.
$3.69- $20.88
2008-05-01 201.2 mi. 5.884 US gal 34.19 US Kept under 55. Few neutral coast pushing one mile as small joke. Overall better driving (less wasted acceleration)
$3.69 - $21.76
2008-04-26 215.5 mi. 6.56 US gal 32.85 US Kept it under 55. Mom had to borrow my car though, so about 120 miles were her; told her not to go over 55 though. I'm sure she did some horrible city driving/stopping at lights.
