i have gained 1 free day to work or 130 miles every tank.
went from abou 70 miles quarter to 120ish a quarter i use to have old fuel logs when i drove like a bat out of hell and i got 17-19 every day and best was 24 on a trip. now 24 is a bad bad tank. so i went from 250 miles to 400 miles a tank.

i also notice i have a short temper that leads to mpg drop even if i was the one who made me mad, or if i just want to get there. 1.5 hours each way to work seems so long some days.

like one day trip home can be 30 mpg, the next day might be 27 mpg. or a trip to work when i leave on time = about 27-28 mpg alot of evelevation change 1200 plus 3 mountains not included in that number) or if i am runnign late 25-27 mpg.

which considering my truck has 252 thousand mile and is a 4x4 and rater for 17 combined aint all the bad but speed kills it. 55 mph= 30-32 mpg 65-70 mph =24-25 mpg.
