Tried to run the speed limit-5 over tops
Tank looked like it would come up with less miles than usual looking at the gauge, but ~100 miles of Highway may have gotten things back in order.
Fan controller came in but not installed on this tank so partial grill block was used. |

-Shifting at 2500RPM
-Worked on putting together an entire lower grill block, but electric fan not working so I opened it up to roughly 1/4 of the lower radiator exposed. Once fan controller comes in I will block more aggressively and try again
-Spent more time at idle than usual due to trouble shooting electric fan issue while testing grill block.
-First week of consistantly colder weather with temps rising back up to mid 40's at end of tank |

Last tank before tune up.
LOTS of coasting, no P&G or EOC escept in driveway and parking lots.
Ran SeaFoam thru at very end of tank to clean out motor, ran it really hard thru the gears for about 5 miles then filled up.
Tires still 50psi cold (55psi hot) |

*Accidentally reset trip odometer part way thru tank, went back using actual odometer readings. Now I set the trip meter and record the actual odometer. Both read the same so far. This tank MAY have actually been closer to 37mpg, but I will stick with these numbers for now.
90% city driving
Rained almost entire week
Coasting, shifting at 2K religiously, start only when ready etc. NO ecomods, still no tuneup. |

Bought car 11/10/11
NO tuneup, tires need replaced, only maintenance done was to steering and brakes
Tire Pressure maxed at 7 miles on tank
New "aerodynamic" windshield wiper blades LOL
Learning shift points and coasting, shifted at 2K RPM when I thought about it and coasted when I could.
NO P&G or EOC except in parking lots and driveway.
(edited) I found that the trip odo. was off more than I thought, recalculated accordingly |
