My trip to work today read 54 MPG. That's a bit off reality, probably more like 50 MPG because the SG doesn't like lean burn. But it looks like I might hit 50 MPG this tank, which is a goal of mine this summer (and it's not even that warm yet!)

swapped back over to my LRR tires this week and the MPG jumped up 20%. It should go up more once I get the pizza pans back on.

With repeated short fills of 10 gallons its looking like I'm seeing 40ish mpg rather than the 30-high I was suspecting. I can't attribute a 10% increase to th3 weight of the fuel alone, so I'll just assume I was wrong before and go with it.
Soon I'll be doing full fills of up to 18 gal and then I'll have a fill to fill accuracy instead of a average accuracy.

Finally a day with little to no wind here in the Midwest, and it paid off with a 62mpg trip to work (~51 miles, 85% interstate) and 68mpg on the way back! I'm loving this car.

It's not "Daily," Per se, As it's tank-to-tank but this tank in the 1984 Caprice Classic turned out to be 19.79 if the pump is correct.

Finished off my first 500 mile tank this moning! Missed 50 mpg by a hair, 506.1 miles for 10.133 gallons- 49.9457 mpg. Where's a pump error when you need one?

Good enough to report in today. Home to work was in the usual 45mpg range. Did some errands, blah blah blah, high 30s and low 40s.
But then the stars aligned and waves parted. Lunch spot back to work was with Sunday traffic and all six lights were green! This allowed a fantastic 6 miles at 54.5mpg.
