Well I live in Union county and work in Rockford. I have two routes that are the same 40-41 miles. In the morning I usually go down through Halls, Emory Road to I40 then it's interstate to Alcoa highway. If I don't need to go into Halls after work I take the interstate to Rutledge Pike and take it up to Blaine then cut over to Maynardville.
Since I have started monitoring my mileage more rigorously with Torque the last two weeks I have noticed better mileage on my way home. I just haven't figured out if it's the weather, which I suspect, or the route. As you know, it's 30° one morning 40-45° the next. I have gone the Rutledge Pike route some this week in the morning and the mileage was better one morning and the same the next. It was about 10° warmer one morning though.
Traffic is the same either route at 530am, better Rutledge Pike in the evening. I think that the temperature is my biggest variable effecting mileage. I think a grill block and/or WAI would help a lot. This week with the warmer temps I am getting better mileage per Torque.
