Safeway $.30/Gal discount.
Commuting. Trying an altermate route to work.
15 minutes of traffic jam on my trip home on 8-18 didn't help. 
Driving to work through town on Rt 66 nets as good or better MPG than skirting town on I 40, even with 13 more stoplights. And saves 2 miles. And I don't have to tolerate all the aggressive @$$holes. 
Performance tune not installed on this tank.

Safeway .10/gallon discount. Topping it off before a road trip.

Interesting... Taking the short way home (exiting at Country Club and taking 89N to TWR) nets better fuel economy, even with more stops. And it saves 1.6 miles.
