Thanks.
The city is going to be adding another stoplight to my morning commute, bringing the stoplight count to 21 over a distance of about 8 miles. One more opportunity to be the first one through the intersection when the light turns green.
Now that the weather is cooling off and fuel is switching over to winter blend, my economy will be dropping a bit. The switch to Mobil 1 0W-30 in the crankcase got me through last winter without dropping below 30 MPG. Maybe the under drive crankshaft pulley will keep me over 31 this winter. That would be .
