2008-12-12 219.4 mi. 8.074 US gal $1.759 27.17 US First log since headgasket job. Cam timing jumped at about half a tank, that wasted some gas, then after I got it running again I did a victory romp around the block to uhhh make sure it was running right. Shootin for 30 next tank.

2008-09-21 226.8 mi. 10.12 US gal 22.41 US Crazy, got invited to a skynyrd concert up past detroit for free. Had to fly down to bowling green to do some stuff and then fly to hudson, mi to pick up people and then drove to the wrong place in detroit, and then scramble to make it to the right place 40 miles away. 80+ mph on the interstates with a 3 speed auto.
2008-09-21 155 mi. 6 US gal 25.83 US This tank includes the three passes I made at Milan on the 19th. Best run was 15.64 at 86.6 mph.
2008-09-19 234.7 mi. 9.27 US gal 25.32 US Filled it up and then went to milan to run it down the 1/4 mile.

2008-08-10 89.7 mi. 4.395 US gal 20.41 US Uhhh.... I autocrossed the car. Lots of wide open throttle, 14 psi of boost, tires spinning. Yeah. It was fun, and I still managed 20 mpg.
2008-08-05 255.8 mi. 8.95 US gal $3.799 28.58 US
2008-07-13 221.9 mi. 9.18 US gal $4.139 24.17 US
2008-06-29 297.3 mi. 10.73 US gal 27.71 US About 2/3 of this tank was going to Cedar Point and back.
2008-06-12 243.5 mi. 9.16 US gal 26.58 US Messed around with charging the AC, for nothing. It needs more work than I can do on it.
2008-06-01 215.4 mi. 7.807 US gal 27.59 US .
2008-05-18 203.5 mi. 7.5 US gal 27.13 US
2008-05-12 317 mi. 11.4 US gal 27.81 US Partial grill block doesnt seem to be helping. I might try blocking the opening in the lower fascia.

Could have also just been difference in gas pumps though, so who knows.
2008-04-19 322.2 mi. 11.43 US gal 28.19 US Got the car aligned after new struts. Running 40 lbs in the tires. Didnt practice the best hypermiling techniques in the world.
2008-04-10 211.3 mi. 8.372 US gal 25.24 US Not quite as good this time, but for known reasons. The car went through some drivers license exams and such things. Hopefully I can ghetto-rig up an alignment for the passenger side thats toed way out and that will help things a lot and hold us over until we can get a full alignment done.
2008-03-31 168.8 mi. 6.41 US gal 26.33 US Better this time. Probably due to the fact that of lots of highway driving. Been doing lots of coasting too. The car loses speed fairly quickly when coasting in neutral though.

Going to pick a pair of new front struts up for it soon though, hopefully we can get the front end straight and pick up some mpg. The previous owner left us with a nicely bent strut on the passenger side.

Note: We filled it up with the needle directly on the half mark. The car is supposed to have a 14 gallon tank, so 6.4 sounds about right giving a couple gallons for reserve after empty.
2008-03-26 38.7 mi. 1.835 US gal 21.09 US I did this to start a fuel log for the Shadow. Gassed the car up in Fayette and headed to Wauseon so my gf could practice maneuverability for her driving test. She did this for quite a while and I'm sure that killed the gas mileage despite trying out some hypermiling techniques. Stopped by Walmart on the way back. Then topped off the gas tank back in Fayette. These readings may not be accurate since it only took 1.8 gallons. It may have taken more gas the second fillup than the first since there may be air in the tank on the first fillup. Oh well, the car is full for sure now, and fillups should be accurate from now on.
