2010-02-09	378.8	10.23	$2.37	37.03	"Was actually 2 fuel additions 1.225 gal near work @$2.439 ($3.00 worth) just to get me to my home side of town where I know the price is always cheaper, to finish my weekly-ish fill-up. That's why the fill amount is larger than the total capacity of the tank, if anyone questions the amount. Note: My ""Driving Style"" is just this side of ""maniac"" and the 60% 'highway' is mostly stop & go, I tend to use the advantage of the small car and great vision to avoid as much of the stopping part."
2010-02-17	347.3	8.722	$2.37	39.82	"Found that I'd been running with slow leak in RF tire on previous. Repaired on 2010-02-10 and back to running @ top PSI again."
2010-03-01	363	9.429	$2.46	38.5	"Not driven for a few days, needed front brake pad replacement. Drilled rotors are lighter and stop without ever fading, but do wear about 20% faster. Still well worth the trade-off in improved braking, safety and confidence. Pads are readily available for $9.95, if you shop well. I found a full hardware set with springs, stainless sleeves, caliper grease and aluminum shims for $19.95 on ebay and only a couple extra bucks for shipping."
2010-03-10	420.8	10.54	$2.579	39.92	"AeroDynamics have been compromized part way through this stint. The front fender and parking lamp have been peeled off by the back of a pickup truck. A Semi was stalled in the center lane just past a curve of the Interstate and I was cruising in the left lane; I went under the outer corner as the pickup slammed on his brakes (semi not in our lane!!), but the leaf-spring rear shackle snagged the corner by less than an inch. I have a new lamp on the way, but still looking for a cheap fender replacement. Again, threw a couple bucks at it near work to get it to the station with the cheap price to fill up."

2010-04-01	402.5	9.712	$2.75	41.44	"Actual Fuel that ended in the tank is actually less than the amount purchased/entered. Fuel shut-off and burp of the air pocket up through the filler neck probably spilled 1-2 tenths down the side of the car and into a shameful puddle on the ground."
2010-04-15	412.2	9.676	$2.89	42.6	"Still haven't put the fender back on, but have the corner lamp back in place. I have been carrying more cargo and passengers during this tank, too. This fill-up was at a different station, which I noticed did NOT have the 10% ethanol stickers on the pumps. We'll see if this holds true for more BTUs and miles significantly. It is a national ""Name Brand"" station which I'll verify 100% petrol by the time I make the next posting."
2010-04-26	370.9	9.144	$2.67	40.56	"Drove record times on 4 separate commute legs! Basically driven @ Aerodynamic limit & friction limit of clutch & tires. How many cars can you do that in and still get 40+!"
