Re: Week of September 10th - September 16th (Nat Avg: $3.85)
From home to the tourist house: 20km | 12.4mi
Then another 20km, which was a hike, no gas used, just some food and water...
Back home: 20km | 12.4mi
To mom's place: 24km | 14.9mi
To work: 5km | 3.1mi
This is one of the rare cases when I start Teresa for such a short distance: it was part of a longer trip.
Tank is at 350km indicated now. FE numbers next week, I guess.

Re: Week of September 10th - September 16th (Nat Avg: $3.85)
I continue to be destroyed by unfamiliar traffic. I continue to post good numbers on some trips to almost make up for it.
Went to breakfast with a car club this morning. Took a different route home, with a stop to refill the tank. Fill was 5.2 miles from the destination.
20.5 miles @ 52 MPG on the way out
28.1 miles @ 54 MPG on the way back
Fill results in the Challenge thread.
