05/08/2008 - Filled at an unfamiliar (76) station, for better or worse the pump had a 'may contain up to 10% Ethanol' sticker. I noticed it only after filling. :X
First 15 miles traveled on tank had full interior and tire pressure at ~53 psi.
05/09/2008 - Took a mandatory trip to the Norton Simon museum in Pasadena, CA. Interior was stripped prior to departure and tire pressure was refilled to 60 psi. Traveling there I tried to maintain 50-55 mph at 14% TPS. Interior fan was on (level 1) for ~1/3 of the trip.
The return trip I was stuck in traffic so was doing a lot of stuff under 35, tried to utilize the fuel cut through engine braking. When traffic cleared I was trying to maintain the same speed as before but had to use 17% TPS due to inclines.
Map so far
Remainder of tank consisted of school commute to Menifee and San Jacinto with 30% TPS pulses to 55 mph and EOC glides down to 27 MPH before starting over.
Plan to use the next few tanks to determine the optimum TPS. |
