2013-03-20 546 14.1 $3.94 38.72 "Chevron Diesel; switched to Shell for this fill up, will report results. 40% city/60% highway. Leaking tandem pump and missing belly pan."
2013-03-22 427 9.832 $3.93 43.43 "95% highway at 70-80mph. Shell Diesel. Previously had burps on the freeway, this fuel solved that problem. Lesson learned: only fill up at stations with a lot of traffic!"
2013-03-30 460 10.85 $3.89 42.4 "Flying J diesel, little-to-no boost for most of this tank due to damaged hose. Back to Shell for this fill up, added Power Service Diesel Kleen. Hoping to hit 45mpg."
2013-04-05 260.5 5.222 $3.869 49.89 "Mostly highway at 55-65 mph. Began using Diesel Kleen, great stuff!"
2013-04-05 440.5 8.649 $3.999 50.93 "Salt Lake City to Las Vegas. Averaged 59.9 mph including three stops; without the stops, I would estimate it being closer to 65. I put duct tape over 75% of the grill with no noticeable impact on engine temperature (ambient temp of 70-80F). Utilized constant pedal technique: maintained 75mph on flat roads, reduced to as slow as 55mph on steep climbs, and EOC down steep descents. Car is still missing belly pan, so I am more than pleased with its performance!"
2013-04-13 357.7 8.711 $4.019 41.06 "Fought winter weather and a 30-50mph headwind on this trip."
2013-04-19 570.5 13.589 $3.869 41.98 "Included a couple of 120+ mph high speed runs at the Bonneville Salt Falts."
