Most of my time is on the interstate at 70MPH GPS. On occasion(maybe 10% of the time) I may run 74 and 79MPH if the run is more time sensitive. I seldom run less than 70 unless 2 lane.
My cruise control buttons show more wear than the accelerator pedal.....nuff said.
My enclosed trailer I pull 2 or 3 times a year is a tandem axle 8.5'X16' and 10' high.
Odometer/MPG is corrected for tire size. I run 100 miles on the interstate using the mile markers. I then use the difference between actual and the odometer as my correction factor. I do this every time I rotate tires or change them.
I have continued to log fuel logs for 2011 under "2ndE350 2011" as it makes things easier to view it per year rather than overall life. It can be found here: http://ecomodder.com/forum/em-fuel-log.php?vehicleid=4538

When I'm idle in the winter I use a Webasto AT2000ST cab heater. Unless it is used for very long periods, I have not noted, as the Fuel Consumption varies from only .03 gal/h to .06 gal/h.
I am using 1oz. per 5 gal of fuel of TC-W3 2 stroke oil. I am mainly using it for lubricity to prolong the life of the injectors. I have no proof if it helps with fuel economy in a diesel engine.

1/13/12 Lexus LS460 Bi Xenon retrofit.
