Week of February 8 to February 14 (Nat'l Avg price $1.739)

Today , left from Cindi's house , so fewer chances for suburban P & G. Also , no garage for my car , so a bit of frost-removal was required. 31.4 miles , 60.6 *.93 = 56.36 MPG. 31 deg f , wind WSW 10.

Tank is at 62.2 miles , 59.8 *.93 = 55.61 MPG. It was snowing very lightly on the way in , but roads were clean and dry. It melted as it hit my (relatively) hot windscreen. That's "windshield" for you Yanks.

 

Gord, if his car is out of the shop. Hopefully it was so he could drive while you are on vacation. Good tank and close to PR distance in the middle of winter as well. Whoot!
Andrew, sounds like you should drop something off at the old house every day.

Friday:
- 58.0 / 12.9 miles (44F S@5)
FCD = 51.3 (+0.2)

weekly efforts - 129.4 miles / 2.44 gals = 53.0 MPG

This morning with school drop off at the curb as the drive through was full of parents dropping off.
- 51.8 / 13.1 miles (34 F WNW 16 gusting to 25 head/side wind)
FCD = 51.3 (=)

Tank:
8.61 gals converted
434.5 miles

I understand Andrew.

Seems to be less and less people here sharing their daily grind stories.

last night:
- 58.4 / 12.9 miles (36F NW@22 gusting to 34)
FCD = 51.5 (+0.2)

this morning with school drop off:
- 49.0 / 13.1 miles (27F WNW@12)
FCD = 51.4 (-0.1)

Today , 17 deg F , wind NW 12 . All local roads were covered with snow ; some of the Interstate, too. 34.4 miles , 55.2*.93 = 51.34 MPG. Tank is at 132.6 miles , 58.4 * .93 = 54.31 MPG. Over the next five days , we are looking at a high temp of 27 deg F.


This was supposed to be for Tuesday. Not sure why it didn't post then.

 

Today ( Wednesday ) 9 deg F , wind NW 10 mph ( headwind). 34.4 miles , 56.0 *.93 = 52.08 MPG. Tank is at 200.5 miles , 57.5 * .93 = 53.47 MPG. We've had more than our share of cold here , with plenty of winter left. Not a huge amount of snow ( yet). I suspect Mother Nature is saving a nice surprise for us.

 

Nice and 'Brisk' Edwin. I love it when it gets so cold that the coat starts sounding like stiff plastic trying to bend and break.

late night:
- 60.4 / 13.0 miles (33F WNW@18 gusting to 26)
FCD = 51.6 (+0.2)

this morning with school drop off
- 48.0 / 13.2 miles (22F SSW@5)
FCD = 51.5 (-0.1)

tank:

486.2 miles
F_____|____*<E (still no LFL, but should come on during the drive home. Fill prob on Thursday after work)

 

Today , 7 deg F , wind NNW 8 MPH. 34.4 miles , 56.1 *.93 = 52.17 MPG. Tank is at 269.1 miles , 57.6 * .93 = 53.57 MPG. Up one tenth MPG since yesterday ! Jeez. It's not worth celebrating about, I know.
Today , going to the pub for first time in three weeks ; the scenic route applies here and should help this tank a wee bit. If the wind doesn't shift ( it does quite often ) , it should help me on the way there.

 

Today , 17 deg F , wind WSW 6 MPH. 34.3 miles , 60.2 *.93 = 55.99 MPG. Tank is at 340.4 miles , 58.4*.93 = 54.3 MPG. Up 0.8 from yesterday due to scenic route home ( two stops).

 

My gas gauge never came back, so I filled up early to be safe.

323.8/5.906 gal = 54.8 mpg

Gas was $1.41, so I payed about $8 for this

Temps have been 45-70, and only one day of strong headwind. Big PR for me. P&G on the highway portion of the commute obviously payed off in a bump from 48 to ~55. I'd like to think 60 is in reach, but probably not unless I do things I don't really want to do, like drop my speed or jack up my tire pressure.

 

This didn't post yesterday, even through it was on the page before I left the site.
7F would put me in the upper 30's or lower 40's depending on wind so 50+ is good in my book for that temp.

Andrew prob went from 50.79 to 50.71. Love the accuracy in the significant decimal places.

Gord, love it when alarms work as they should

last night:

home:
58.7 / 1.8 miles (I was showing 87+ when I got to the light by my house and since it was not dark and the lights were needed, I bump started before I stopped at the light and lost 25 MPG idling )
FCD = 66.7

This morning with school drop off:
- 49.9 / 13.2 miles (25F Calm)

Will have to drop the oldest at mixer/dance tonight at the middle school as soon as I get home so more trips.
