Your fuel log ends where it should become interesting
I've been keeping fuel logs every since the car purchase, so we can keep a running total for any changes made.

The best estimate up to this point was the A-B test run last fall where the car showed an 18% gain at 56 mph.

When the weather warms and the backroads flatten out I plan on doing some A-B-A tests as confirmation of the initial testing, with this next testing being closer to five miles each pass.

Hope this helps, Jim.
