2010-11-21 | "220 miles of PNG in town 165 miles of PNG on the highway between 60 and 70mph strapping tape grille blocks in place" |
||||
2010-11-21 | "Cruise set at 65 the whole way. Grille blocks removed pending A-B-A testing. Very windy tonight. Today, also got distance and fuel calibrations for the UltraGauge." | ||||
2010-11-23 | "No idea what happened here. It was 20 miles of PNG in the city and then 220 miles of ABA on the freeway with the cruise set at 65. One thing I did notice is that the temperature really dove. I noticed my IAT reading 64 degrees when I started, 28 degrees on the last run, and then shot up to 54 when I parked at the gas station. Getting the hot side of the airbox hooked back up should solve this." | ||||
2010-11-25 | "38F, windy on the trip in, two additional people in the car, cruise set at 65." | ||||
2010-12-03 | "One trip into Chicago and back. One other person in the car. The rest was P&G around town. Grille block is in place." | ||||
2010-12-04 | "Trip into Chicago and back. 65 on the way in, as slow as 50 on the way back. Snowed on the way back. Snow tires are on. Two more people in the car." | ||||
2010-12-11 | "This was intended to be a worst-case scenario tank; old driving habits, no hypermiling, snow, 10 degree temperatures, snow tires. Despite all that, it didn't turn out that bad." | ||||
2010-12-11 | "Massive snowstorm. Average 40 mph to Woodstock and back. Some DWL and P&G when I could." | ||||
2010-12-22 | "Mileage is approximate; battery was unhooked for repairs. One 40mph trip to Crystal Lake. Snow and ice-packed roads; cold. Lots of 50% throttle P&G around town. Not sure if the high-load acceleration is the ticket or not. This tank is almost as bad as my ""worst case scenario"" tank." | ||||
2010-12-28 | "Trip to Chicago with five people in the car using DWL; half a trip by myself using DWL. The rest city using P&G. Having calibration issues with the UG. Cap, rotor and plugs a few miles into this tank. Partial front and partial rear belly pans a few miles in as well." | ||||

||||
2011-01-15 | "One trip to Chicago, the rest in town. Started experimenting with EOC. P&G continues whenever possible. Changed oil to Mobil1 0w20. Mobil #1, first latch, first click, can of Seafoam." | ||||
2011-01-18 | "Snowstorm. Trip to Chicago. Speeds all over the place. I clicked the pump about 13 times to see if I could get fuel up into the neck. Guess not. The next tank will be a bit high." | ||||
2011-01-23 | "This tank reads a little higher than it should. Started off with quite a few clicks off, but the refill was off at one. Still had 1128 code trouble for most of the tank. PCV breather was disconnected from the intake, but upon reconnecting, idle gph is up 0.35 from 0.25. Typical trip MPG readings are down by about 10. We'll see about the next tank." | ||||
2011-01-24 | "Super-short tank. Found that the PCV valve had popped out of the intake. Haven't gotten the 1128 code yet. UG's fuel calibration is off. Said this tank was only 26." | ||||
