His lie-o-meter is telling him 51 mpg today, ambient temps up slightly ~2-3*f vs earlier in the week.

He plans to do a fill & drive for a week under both conditions.

ON another note, I've been told records tell the tale, I've kept my fuel receipts over the years and have seen my mpg go from a peak of 19.5~20 mpg in summer up to 22.5~23.3x mpg. From what I've seen, it doesn't take but a few fill ups to see if a change has affected mpg. My current goal was to keep mpg up above 21 mpg under ideal winter conditions. Achieved... 21.6 mpg on a short fillup with all hiway miles. Added a CAC blanket to drive intake temps up as high as I can get them. What was 70's all day everyday, is now peaking up into the mid 90's and running at mid 80's once up to temp.
