89 - Made it from Illinois/Indiana border, into central PA on one tank, personal best. (in my experience the tank usefully holds 14 gallons, max) This included quite a bit of drafting a truck that was travelling so perfectly for me drafting it that I took a picture. |

89 - Got lost in downtown Minneapolis, when I was on I-94 trying to go through and it said "Closed ahead, use alternative route"... but never suggested one.
Filled up before going into Wisconsin, which I knew had more expensive gas than Minnesota, hoping to make it to Indiana without filling up since Illinois is also expensive. I made it. |

87 - Some of the worst downpours I've ever experienced. I actually pulled off into a rest stop because the storms were so bad, and I never do that. Didn't hurt the mileage too much though, apparently. |

88 - I skipped a fuel entry as I had a gas leak fixed, and lost a good deal of gas to that. This is the first entry with the new fuel tank, and the first long-distance test of rear wheel skirts, mirror delete, grille block and airdam/front tray.
This one is from across Montana, from Missoula to Billings, plus about 30 miles. |

I've kept fuel logs for Car since I first got it (Car is gender-neutral, I couldn't think of any maleness or femaleness that fit it). There have been too many partial fills and errors to post individually, but the graph of 30-day averages is interesting.
Not too bad for a 4.5 year average of a 17 year old car that has, in my care, had three fuel leaks and a stuck brake caliper. |
