2008-05-08	387.8	10.52		36.86	"This tank I attempted driving more efficiently. A lot more coasting, coasting earlier, and WOT to top speed but shifting at the lowest possible RPM. Seemed to work well, as previous MPG for the last 6 months have been in the 29-32 mpg range. However i do feel a little like I am suppressing my urges for quick acceleration. We'll see if i get used to it."
2008-05-19	519.9	15.69		33.14	"This tank represents a frustration with changing my driving behavior. I reverted back to more aggressive speeds and acceleration. The previous tank was going great, I'd estimate 42 MPG, until I ran into two days of bumper to bumper traffic. That really hurt my average MPG for the tank. This demonstrates two things for me: 1: I need more than just behavioral changes to increase my gas mileage. 2: Society needs more than just behavioral changes to increase their gas mileage, as there will always be traffic jams."
2008-05-27	380.1	11.46		33.17	"Mixed driving similar to the first entry. Vehicle maintenance and modifications came in during the middle and last quarter of the tank. Modifications include: -Covered license plate moved lower to cover gaps below grill. -drop in cotton/oil air filter (K&N) [let the dirt flow!] -spark plug change (bosch platinum plus) -oil change (royal purple, K&N Oil Filter) -fuel treatment (lucas) -new windshield"

2008-06-22	765.3	21.16		36.17	"Less high-traffic commutes than normal. Two one-hour per way trips to the shore certainly contributed to the higher MPGs as well."
