0000-00-00 66 2.902 $2.659 22.74 "Didn't fill up all the way last time and fuel gauge was slightly under the F. Filled up all the way this time. Tires were at 40psi (max of 51psi). Bad motor mount rocks the engine at low RPM's; seems to rob a little bit of power. Temp gauge doesn't warm up to middle for about 5-10min sometimes (might be a problem with the gauge itself and not coolant). All city miles."
2010-04-17 205 10.04 $2.659 20.42 "All city, usually trips that are only 2-3 miles at a time. 87 octane fill up. Still has a bad motor mount and still has hesitation to accelerate. Still has long warm-ups."
2010-04-19 86.5 2.726 $2.639 31.73 "20 miles in town and 66 miles on the highway to SPFD. Tried to pulse and glide: would accelerate to 75, then coast in neutral to 55. She doesn't accelerate very well at highway speeds and could probably use a decent, unrestricted header and exhaust for those speeds (as well as aero, of course, to accelerate easier and coast longer). Still has the bad motor mount. Tires inflated to 46psi."
2010-04-19 62.4 1.18 $2.629 52.88 "Same day, filled her up in SPFD and then measured the drive back home. Same details as before: 46psi tire pressure, bad motor mount, etc. This time, however, I just kept the speed at a steady 55mph instead of trying to Pulse-And-Glide. Very happy with the result, though I know I could probably do a lot better with a few mods. Go Serenity!"
2010-04-28 145 7.61 $2.72 19.05 "Still had the bad motor mount, it's been killing the exhaust flow and the power."
2010-05-07 112.5 5.101 $2.779 22.05 "Motor mount is fixed, but the exhaust problem persists. Lots of back-pressure, and she's losing power."
2010-05-07 142.3 4 $2.779 35.58 "Trip out of town and back. Windy the whole way, and the return trip was straight into 15mph wind. Felt like a wall of air, and I wouldn't even get any momentum going down hill. About 15 miles of this trip was city driving. Vacuum gauge installed; averaged about 12-14hg on the way to and about 10hg on the way back through the wall of air."
2010-05-16 157.5 7.907 19.92 "All city. Drilled some holes in my custom motor mount and raised it up, trying to get the exhaust to flow better. Not helping much..."
2010-05-16 191 6.617 28.87 "Road tripping! All highway, partially through nasty rain and wind. Before the trip, I loosened an exhaust hanger underneath that had the exhaust at a funny angle. Trying to decipher what's causing this restriction in the flow."
2010-05-16 162.2 4.449 36.46 "Still on the highway. She's not getting very good MPG compared to that one 52mpg session, despite the grill block I added to help."
2010-05-16 248.5 7.427 33.46 "All highway"
2010-05-16 144.8 4.009 36.12 "Last highway drive for a few days."
2010-05-21 264.3 9.095 29.06 "Mixed city and highway. Throw in a couple of miles at 7500RPM and it's not great MPG!"
2010-05-22 274.7 8.353 32.89 "Back on the road again. All highway. Rainy in the beginning, but it got better."
2010-05-22 237 7.746 $2.589 30.6 "Last highway for a while. Not getting what I wanted, but oh well. Keep tuning, see what I did that caused it to go from 52 highway to low 30's."
2010-05-28 64.6 2.879 $2.449 22.44 "All city."
2010-05-28 129.8 3.707 $2.449 35.01 "99% highway, about 4-6 miles city. Grill block on."
2010-06-01 56.6 2.159 $2.379 26.22 "All city. Still got the exhaust problem. Did a lot of EOC which made it go up about 4mpg. Need to get a kill switch to do it properly."
2010-06-01 135.5 3.686 $2.379 36.76 "Mostly highway with about 6 miles of city. Same old, same old. Not windy or anything."
