came home to find no internet. hmmm. pup's had chewed the phone wire from the side of the house . Can't have someone come out to fix until Tues between X and Y. I tried to fix and had it working for about 10 minutes, but when I went back and plugged it all back in with no changes (back to nothing, aw come on, REALLY!!!!!) Not happy with the dogs.

Ended with 49.0 mpg on the dash for the round trip Albion-Detroit-Albion in the 17 Yaris ia. We left earlier than usual to try to miss the winter weather advisory. Just started snowing as we got off the highway

 

Not bad, James. Is the Yaris the 6MT ? Too bad they don't give us the hatch.

 

Yes it was 6 mt

Windy at S@8 Edwin,

Today , 23.5 deg F wind NNE 12 , which means , for me , headwind ALL the way to work. 35.0 miles , 52.82 MPG. Tank is at 39.5 miles , 54.03 MPG. Filled up yesterday at my usual pump at my usual Shell. 525.6 miles/9.859 gallons = 53.31 MPG. If I look back at last winter , I might find a tank worse than this , not sure.

Jason , it was S8 in the morning at 5:00 AM when I was driving to work. Later in the day when I was coming home, winds were more like W30. Is that windy ?

 

Filled up after running errands. All of the snow melted and it's been raining. Roads very very wet. Some of them are water logged and can't be driven on. MPG on this tank was terrible, although not too far off of my winter average. Around half of the miles were driven in 2016.

Fill-up 1:
Miles: 288.5
Gallons: 10.000
28.85 MPG

As I said, not too far off of my winter average. Normally get around 29-30 in the winter. Summer is 33-35. Wish I knew how to hypermile better I'd love to be getting 600 miles a tank but driving around here isn't that conducive to it.

 

Edwin, that is in the FRESHENING phase.

last night:
58.9 / 12.9 miles (70F SSW@18 gusting to 27)
FCD = 51.3 (+0.4)

this morning with school drop off and more winter like (for around here) temps.
45.8 / 13.1 miles (30F NNW@8)
FCD = 51.0 (-0.3)

tank:
5.60 gals converted
285.2 miles
