2008-06-19 259.4 9.786 26.51 "ok, so i was running late for work the first day... kinda hard to go the speed limit ... so this tank was like the one before, but i've already started driving the speed limit for the next tank and am going to make sure i have enough time to get places so i can keep it up..... $3.969---- ohhh gas is going down :P"
2008-06-26 281.7 9.418 29.91 "WOW.... it sure was hard to drive the speed limit (i was actually usually 1 over), but i did it, and it seems to have paid off! same route as the fill-ups before at the same pump, so i think this mileage is for real.... i'll try 1 more tank to see, then i'll fiddle with tire pressure and synthetic oil.... i'm not giving up my a/c (always on), after all, it's florida!..... $3.97/gal.... when are we drilling for more oil?"
2008-07-01 313.5 10.63 29.49 "$4.05/ gal.... uggh, but at least driving the speed limit helps i will NOT drive under it, i think it's a safety issue as much as the now 1 hour commute will kill me if it goes any longer than that.... next up, synthetic oil and tire pressures :P"
