Put in Mobil-1 and tufoil today

I've always made the switch to Mobil-1 around the 5 to 10K mark on a new vehicle. Always faithfully added tufoil.

Today, at the 8823 mile mark, I made the switch to mobil-1 (5-20w) and added tufoil.

Of course, I probably should had held up adding tufoil for a couple thousand miles to get the correct MPG with Mobil-1, but what the heck, I love the stuff.

I'll keep all of you posted regarding any increase in my mpgs.

On a side subject, I got a ticket right after leaving the dealership today. Stupid u-turn over solid double yellow lines. That will cost me. Hopefully traffic school will be a option given to me. First ticket in over 20-25 years. I've been kicking myself all day over it. On a funny side, when I called my wife about the ticket, her first comment was "They nailed you for driving too slow??"
