Busy summer

Updated fuel logs. I've been writing them down lately, so it's been a while since I've uploaded them.

Man, you are doing great with the V6. Couple questions, did you ever install your electric fans? Also, since you have had it for a bit, how is the air dam holding up? Anything you would have done differently?

Sorry I missed your comment, I've been away for a bit. I made it through the summer without a fan and without incident. The air dam was fine, but was difficult to work around so I went back to what I had before that. If I had to do it again I would have gotten different tires than the new ones I bought. I lost about 3 mpg over night when I switched.

Winter is settling in and my UG is putting out about 24mpg for this tank... It's going to be a long winter...

Current tank is at 23mpg running 100% 4x4 and terrible coasting on snow covered roads. This might be my worst tank since baseline, but I'm happy with what I'm getting considering the conditions.

Yay temps going up ^

Temps going up is a huge relief. This may be the last tank for a while on this beast, as I bought a little brother for him. 98 Single Cab Tacoma 2.7L "Smudge"


2015-03-19
394.4 mi
634.73 km
14.236 gal (US)
11.85 gal (Imp)
53.89 L
($35.45 total for this fill)
27.7 mpg (US)
8.49 L/100 km

I need to do a few maintence things I've been holding off on till the weather got better and I had more time.

Here's the short list:

Replace spark plugs (#2 cylinder throwing a code
Coolant Flush
Prep and rustproof the frame and undercarriage
Replace windshield
Replace exhaust rear of the 02 sensors
Replace rear leaf springs
