Gah...worst tank yet...just shy 43mpg.

So embarrassing; leaving work, started up the car and went back to the trunk, door shut and wouldn't open back up. Apparently, when it's cold the locks don't fully unlock with the twist of the key and I got locked out. Took me 30 minutes to wedge the door open and find something to use to hit the button..30 minutes of wasted fuel.

On a better note, I've got the UltraGauge in. Learned the grille block needed to be opened up. Temperatures right now hover between 185-195 versus the previous 210 with the original block. Really nice to know when the car is in lean burn too!
