Mobile one 0W-30 and Fram TG filter 5/7

Seems to slip into lean burn as soon as engine temp rises to lower middle of gauge. Everything appears to be working properly.
Mostly highway driving." |

"100 miles daily commute the rest was a St Louis turn and burn. Filled up at a pump that was too high a pressure. I held the nozzle to slow fuel flow. It kicked off, I felt a little prematurely. I restarted it and it kicked off again, cars fuel gauge showed full. MPGuino estimated 54MPG, no changes made to calibration." |

"Trip to St Louis and back w/100 miles of commute to work. Fill was on a slow pump that probably did a better job filling then the last time. During the next fueling I will fill until I see fuel in the neck. Decent tailwind going and a terrible headwind on the way back. I thought last run was around 54 MPG and I think this one was in that ballpark." |

Decided against filling to top. Going to worry less about the tank to tank number and pay more attention to the overall average." |

EOC 64.81

Number seems a little low, had to use a different pump than usual. Someone was parked in the one I normally use. Car was sitting alone when I arrived, filled up left and still never saw the owner. Whomever you are...I hate you." |

Did some geocaching in the car and drove through multiple rain storm on this tank. Mileage is way better than I expected. Will look at making another adjustment to the MPGuino on the next fill." |

"EOC 60.72
MPGuino Est 48.6
Rough couple of weeks, colder mornings lengthening time to lean burn, always a car on my bumper when I get ready to EOC down to a stop. Did not make any changes to MPGuino. Car surging at low speeds (I'm thinking O2 sensor). Recently found a station selling ethanol free fuel...if the price is right I'm a buyer." |
