The last tank was pretty good too, but almost the same conditions. Did I mess up my records? Two other possibilites: today was warmer, so probably better engine temp. Also, had electric gloves and grip heaters going for the last tank- additional electrical draw might have played a role?"

Note: Return by interstate. Tank ending on 01-24 was from same place with a secondary highway return and gave much better FE, though it takes an hour longer."
