Make sure you use the MPG tracking utility to log your gas fillups.

If you are interested in reducing belt/pulley drag, consider running without the alternator. I installed a larger battery in the back of my Jeep TJ and ran without the alternator everyday to work. Once, I came home, I simply recharged with a $20 battery charger from Wal-Mart.

I logged 14 fillups in the tracking utility yesterday. I have always kept mileage/maintenance logs on spreadsheets for all of my vehicles. It was just a matter of transferring the information. Keeping the logs allows making better informed decisions about maintaining the vehicle.
