Began grill block test on 8/14/08"
2008-08-27 521.5 16.11 $3.299 32.37 "Some improvement due to use of ScanGaugeII. Tire pressure was increased from 35 to 37 psi for this tank. Next tank tires are at 39, also smoothie hubcaps coming 8/29. Overall, the truck did pretty well since this tank included more in town miles, and moving some loads (washer&dryer, huge gas grill to and from party), than usual. Kudos to ScanGaugeII."
2008-09-12 565.8 17.36 $3.899 32.59 "No major changes this time. I expect my overall mileage to be going down slightly, as I am carrying a 200 lb. car pooler. On the other hand, that brings my passenger miles per gallon up to about 65 pmpg."
2008-09-27 359.8 12.21 $3.86 29.47 "Lower mpg due to car pooling. Virtually all miles driven with 2 people in truck."
2009-04-30 546.4 17.8 $1.839 30.7 "It's been a long time...about 6 months. I've been out of commision with broken/dislocated shoulder, and multiple surgeries for this. I've changed nothing on the truck this year, due to more than $12k in medical bills. Yes, that is with insurance. I hope to make some mods soon."
2009-05-16 521.6 17.2 $2.119 30.33 "Removed rear mud flaps with no apparent effect. Air conditioning used a couple of days bring mpg down slightly."
2009-05-28 486.4 15.45 $2.239 31.48 "No modifications this time, just work commute."
2009-06-14 547.3 16.93 $2.399 32.33 "The truck seems to do better in HOT weather. I noticed a trend that when the intake air temp is above 100F the mileage goes up a bit. I have been paying more attention to coasting, living in South Carolina I have a lot of opportunity."
2009-06-26 513.2 15.58 $2.359 32.94 "Lighter Traffic with school being out for summer."
2009-07-11 569 17.8 $2.199 31.97 "This is my record for miles per tank(569). I am shooting for 600 miles per tank. I seem to get the best gas mileage on Sunoco. Amoco is good, but seems to not do quite as well Sunoco. I've got to eek out another 2 mpg to get to 600 mpt."
2009-07-28 559.1 17.46 $2.179 32.02 "No changes this time around."
2009-08-12 547.3 16.85 $2.379 32.48 "Light traffic. Increased tire pressure to 42 psi. Truck is a bit squirrelly at 60 mph. That is to say, although I am not much of a drinker, an officer of the law might be concerned with my highway lane usage, especially in the rain. I think that I will max out tire pressure at 42 psi."
2009-08-27 593 18 $2.249 32.94 "The only variables for this tank is fresh oil and filter , and the tires have been up to 42 psi. Traffic in the area is actually heavier with the back to school component. Note: Oil is Mobil 1 0W20."
