Cool, another xB1 driver. Do you use a Scangauge or Ultragauge for instantaneous and average mpg?

Your last tank fill needs editing, as it shows you filling with 32.8 gallons, for a 6.1 mpg tank.

I live about an hour from Sacto. We should get together to compare hypermiing technique. I switched from the stock wheels/tires to 205/50-17s, and they haven't hurt my mpg. Since switching to them, I've run a string of 7 of 10 tanks >50 mpg
