I was on empty for about a month and even though gas in-town dropped near Prices in Gap, I still wanted to drive out and back, so I had some highway to go with my usual in-town driving. I had 40 miles at 55 MPH back from Gap on the Navajo 20, 364 miles in-town, and 49 miles to Gap on the US-89. I should have had lean burn for that last part, but not on the first one.
Eighty percent in-town driving, colder than the Phoenix area, and the screw holes holding my air dam were wearing out. I did not feel like putting in bigger screws for a small amount of highway driving on a car with a failing engine.
Also, my alternator was dying.

This was 375.1 miles of short trips in-city and one 45-mile trip to Gap, where gas is 25¢ cheaper than in Page. Yay! I saved $2.50! We will just ignore $5 in gas and an hour and a half of my time!

Three times I went to Arco and the pump clicked off at a round number. I put in more money and it clicked off right away. I am not sure the tank is completely full. We will see when I refill next--as long as it is not at Arco!

I blew a tire going around a truck in the middle of the street and rode on my 9 PSI spare for several miles looking for an air pump. I finally bought a bike pump and bought Michelin Defenders to go with the Destinies. However, apparently they lowered the pressure of my two good tires from 44 (I believe) to 31-32. I should probably do something about that.
I would work on my air dam, but now my Accord is my project car!

I removed the grill block and air dam to make it up hills in Arizona while not pulling a trailer. Twenty-five miles at 75 MPH and 171 miles uphill to Mom's house. I tried to maintain 65 MPH, although I did not try very hard uphill, but
I think my mileage suffered from trying as hard as I did.

I drove to Mom's house for the first time in a while. I always try to leave early in the morning, but could not leave until nine. The HX is supposed to enter lean burn at 65 MPH\2,600 RPM, so I maintained that for as much of the trip as possible. However, my grill block is too restrictive to drive more than fifteen miles at that speed (in Arizona), so I drove most of the trip with my heater on, but windows up.
I only cut three sides of the opening and tucked the flap into the grill. Somehow it came out and is mostly closed, so just folding it back should definitely help.
Well, my driver's window will not roll up the last two inches.
My phone overheated and turned off. It was not fun. If I opened up the grill block further, it would keep the car (and driver) from overheating, but it definitely does not look like lean burn is working, so I will resume driving fifty-five.
Oil change at 200,443 miles.
It sounded like my brakes dragged intermittently. I had a mechanic look at it before my road trip. They did not find anything, but it has not happened since!

My girlfriend and her family communicate horribly, but she always says that I am the problem!

They invited us to go somewhere New Year's Day, but were not ready until an hour after they said they would be leaving, partially because everyone was having breakfast and packing lunch.

Nobody asked if I wanted breakfast or brought lunch--or suggested it ahead of time.

I had just left there several hours previous. I skipped breakfast to get just a little more sleep. They said it was a short hike. Short hikes don't take all day!

Then, at the last minute, they realized that they did not have room for me, so I said that I could drive, and the mom said my girlfriend was probably a better driver.

Really, lady?

So, we left, but the dad lost me, barely making a left turn before traffic, and not waiting for me. I asked my girlfriend how fast he drove.

"Five over."

Lies!

I drove ten over and never saw him until they got there and they were tired of waiting for me!

"How far away is this?"

[mumble]

It was forty-five miles! People really should mention if they are asking you to drive far, and if you say "Don't worry about it, follow me!" you really need to wait if you get separated!

Apparently, my girlfriend was supposed to work, but she just canceled her first client, and said that she was canceling the second, but I convinced her to actually go into work that day.

It was halfway back to her house!

When I finally got her to my car, I drove 75 back just so that she would not be so late she would cancel. I normally drive fifty-five and filled up as soon as I had her out of my car.

I started my new job and drove about a hundred and eighty miles, mostly in traffic. I rarely fill up before five hundred miles, but it was more difficult to start the car, and the car would almost stall after I bump-started. I paid one dollar near me at $2.199 and then drove twenty miles and waited in line for a station charging $1.889, so I averaged out the price.

I do not believe this is quite accurate. I accidentally washed the receipt, so I just had the total payment. I ran a table of different possible prices and this was the only price that matched a three-digit volume. The inaccuracy is because I did not calculate the mileage, I was going to allow my fuel log to do that. I just remember thinking that it was almost 50 MPG. This next tank will be a bit lame because my battery died and I wasted fuel charging the battery.

Well, my previous five tanks were better. I do not know why this one went down, although I guess that 44.59 MPG is not bad for a car rated 39 highway, and I can never avoid city miles. I saw that one station, almost thirty miles away, was selling for $1.999, so I decided to spend technically less than two dollars a gallon for one last time.

It was commercial only.

Dash did not show any stations in the area, so I downloaded Gasbuddy, which sent me to an Arco 0.6 miles away.

There were stations near my house for less.

I wrote my mileage on a receipt, but cannot find it now. I know that I was over five hundred miles, I am confident that I remember the prices, and my bank shows how much I paid. I bought one gallon at $1.939 to make sure that I made it to court and then filled up 9.912 gallons at $1.699. Then I drove five miles before resetting the trip meter, so hopefully I remember for my next entry.

On my last tank, Boss had me come in at 0430, and start mixing before everyone else showed up. A few times, I drove 45 MPH on the freeway, just because it was empty and I had the time, but now he often has me come in at 0630, and traffic interferes with me catching lights, and I often need to drive faster to make it on time. I need to leave earlier!

Also, I had a twenty-cent gas discount.

I usually EOC towards lights. People have told me countless times that if you drive the speed limit, you only ever hit one red, but nobody drives the speed limit! According to my speedometer, I do, although my GPS says my gauge is always 4 MPH high, yet I regularly EOC and often brake towards lights because I am still driving too quickly.

Do I drive slower or EOC sooner? Which way would create a smaller disturbance as everyone huddles together at the light?

I do not know why my mileage is down. Cold weather? I did not drive to Mom's house?

$2.599 gallons before fifty-cent discount. Wanted to wait until I was on fumes until I filled up, but I only saved about five dollars, and I would have lost money had I run out of gas. However, I topped off 0.687 gallons, to the filler neck.

Removed my aluminum wheel covers a short while ago because I need to make the holes larger again, but left the zip ties at my mother's house. Just barely redid my grill block and air dam: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthread.php/rolled-plastic-grill-block-air-dam-30382.html

Had another CEL for O2 sensor, but when I turned it off, it did not return [yet], but I probably need to replace it anyway.

What happened?!

I have needed to run my AC, but have avoided it when possible. Also, I need to fix my air conditioning, so maybe it needed to work harder, and I was trying to figure out other things, like receiving a CEL that never came back.

I was actually running out of gas, so I stopped outside of a casino for $2 of fuel. I added a grill block, but was driving through elk country at night, so instead of coasting in neutral, I was engine breaking. I guess that hurt my mileage.

I thought that I should be able to drive home from my parents' house on the same tank, but stopped and put in four gallons, then hit a snowstorm, and drove 75 MPH in an attempt to still make an appointment. Fuel tank is 11.9 gallons.
