I ran out of transmission oil, so the leak is back. I'll have to grab a bottle at some point soon because I am driving to Utah and back starting tomorrow morning. Today I replaced my thermostat so that the heater would work and I wouldn't have to worry about a frosted windshield obscuring my vision over the Rocky Mountains.

Sometime in the last month or so the car has begun to idle poorly, seemingly at random. Also, it no longer starts reliably. It will pretty much always die right after starting as if the computer is not setting the idle throttle quantity correctly right away, so I have to hold down the throttle just a tiny bit for about 3 seconds so that it'll stay running. Then it's no problem.

One long trip to MO and back. More tranny oil in the tank. Leak is still gone. Had to go fast on the trip to keep passengers from yelling at me. Car totally got my passengers' panties wet... because I spilled a bottle of water on the back seat and they sat in it.

Made out with one of them later, so still a win?

Seemed pretty normal. I realized in this cold weather that my thermostat is either broken or designed to be very low temp, to the point that I cannot defrost my windshield. That could help explain some of the boost in MPG even when I'm not driving economically.

Leak stopped.

Injector Pump seals are going bad, so I'm leaking between .5 and 1 gallon of diesel per tank. I don't know how long this has been going on but I should have it fixed in a week or so.

One vigorous P&G trip, added some cetane boost, but then ended up running late a few times and had to go 75 mph. Also, weather is getting cooler, and had to run the heater a few mornings.

Running late on several occasions and had to go 75 on highway, sometimes with the air conditioner as well.

Accidentally filled partway after ~500 miles so I didn't reset the odometer and added both fillups together. As such, this is not totally accurate.

Accidentally caused some fuel spill when the tank overflowed, meaning overall MPG might be .5 or 1 MPG higher than calculated, and the next tank may calculate lower than reality since I will not likely fill it to the brim.

Almost all highway, though half was at 70 mph and the other was at 60 mph. Some pulse and glide both ways, yet barely a perceptible improvement in mpg.

Lower MPG than I had hoped. Mixed city/highway driving, but mostly highway.
