2009-02-06 211.1 mi. 11.28 US gal $2.59 18.71 US Found out front tires were out of alignment. Got them aligned
2009-01-29 353.1 mi. 16.8 US gal $2.599 21.02 US one road trip
2009-01-13 202.7 mi. 8.75 US gal $2.629 23.17 US Added some extra oil I have been hauling around in my trunk from my last oil change to my fuel.
2009-01-08 332.8 mi. 16.11 US gal $2.599 20.66 US mostly in town driving with a road trip fighting a head wind
2008-12-26 240 mi. 10.7 US gal $2.579 22.43 US road trips rule. I burned my DPF clean going over the pass.
2008-12-24 237.8 mi. 10.7 US gal $2.339 22.22 US highway road trip across the pass to other side of state. Mileage is quite impressive considering use of winter diesel and road conditions.

My new tires seem to help.
2008-12-23 214.3 mi. 12.44 US gal $2.589 17.23 US No highway miles. All short trips in town. Considerable amount of idling while cleaning snow and ice from car. This has been the coldest weather I have ever operated this car in.
2008-12-14 344.1 mi. 16.9 US gal $2.589 20.36 US two new rear tires were put on half way through this tank. I'm still loosing mileage to warming the engine up despite plugging my car in.
2008-12-03 297.1 mi. 14.98 US gal $2.899 19.83 US winter diesel and cold weather suck. My car doesn't even get up to temp by the time I get to work
2008-11-16 344.3 mi. 15.05 US gal $3.099 22.88 US Had one 160 highway trip since my last fill up. Finally got around to rigging up an extension cord to plug into to warm my car up in the morning. hence the improvement since my last tank.
2008-11-05 275.3 mi. 13.49 US gal $3 20.41 US Winter diesel sux!!!
2008-10-18 301.1 mi. 13.08 US gal $3.589 23.02 US As it gets colder my mileage is dropping off due to energy being required to heat my engine in the morning. Since I have a short commute to work my engine gets up to temp just as I arrive.

I also suspect that the gas stations are now just beginning to receive winter diesel. Since it has a lower btu content my mileage should take a major hit soon
