Welcome back to a new week everyone! The national average gas price has gone up 0.6¢ since last week to $2.353 - this time last year it was $2.125 so it's now 10.7% (+22.8¢) dearer. Diesel is up to $2.528 (+1.6¢). It's now 10.2% (+23.5¢) more expensive than this time last year. Diesel is at a 7.4% premium to regular. 65.3 mpg / 5.2 miles to work this morning. Tank is at 50.5 / 512 miles, a quarter full.
Commute to work showed 47.2 - 4.1 miles, 72 - 4.8 miles home. Tank showing 55.7 mpg - 400 miles, 3/8 tank left. At this point, I'm pretty sure my SG is over reporting and my numbers are inflated. Not sure why as the last tank was almost bang on and I just made a very minor adjustment. Maybe I didn't actually get it full last time. Anyway, if the numbers are off, it's not intentional. It'll probably next month before I finish the tank to find out how much it's off. I like the Scangauge, but I have always found it hard to dial in accurately.
Sorry I was late starting the thread guys! Thanks Andrew - had a visitor at work all yesterday . I've added the gas price info to your post! Welcome back to the grind _______________ Not my turn to drive this week but drove this morning as car is due it's first service and it's easier to get it collected and returned to work, 13°C, 7mph head/crosswind SW: 52.2 / 22.7 Tank up 0.6 at 46.8 (FCD 49.4) / 198.5 / Range 470 . Guess gauge F_«««|««««E . No data from UltraGauge as I've had to unplug it as the car needs a software update. The tank is sure to take a hit but got to be done! First time I've had a car that goes 2 years between services!
Today , 66 deg F , wind W3 (tailwind). 35.0 miles , 70.59 MPG. Tank is at 192.0 miles , 72.17 MPG. Nice weather has been pretty steady here. Had a good 45 minutes of frisbee with Kelly after dinner yesterday.
headwind going home, 47.6 mpg. 90F, heat index 102 clear this morning, 62 mpg. 82F overnight low Tank is up a tenth to 50.7 / 533 mi. F____|___/__E
Got car back from service last night and (with a bit if calculation as trip had reset before they returned my car) they managed to do 23.1 miles @ 24mpg Tank down 3.9 at 42.9 (FCD 45.3) / 221.6 / Range 470 (down 70) . Guess gauge F__««|««««E . Lost 2nd pip sometime during their possession, I'll guess at 200 miles ! Motorway last night, 2UP, 68°F, raining, 6mph tailwind S, pretty good run: 48.7 / 22.3 Tank up 0.5 at 43.4 (FCD 45.8) / 243.9 / Range 395 . Guess gauge F__««|««««E . UG at 44.1 / DTE420.3 I plugged UltraGauge back in at home and it remembered everything from Monday night when I unplugged it so I don't have to set it all up again but I won't bother reporting it for rest of this tank as it's missed quite a few miles and the service.
I know that feeling, Gord. 55.3 / 5.3 - home last night 65.5 / 5.2 - this morning Tank is up a tick to 50.8 / 543 mi. F____|___/_E I never got a good "clean" tank this summer without school duty. Between trailer towing errands and the low battery problem I had, there were some real stinker days in there. I'd say 60 is possible in summer based on my numbers today.
Today , 73 deg F , wind SSW10. Conditions were perfect. 16.2 miles , no highway , tailwind , but still sometimes I had to light up the ICE. 84.16 MPG. Tank is at 293.0 miles , 72.17 MPG.
52.2 / 5.2 - home last night 68.7 / 5.2 - this morning, fleeing in front of a storm that was blowing in Tank is up a tick to 50.9 / 554 mi.
Still, 50+ MPG on a tank with so many things working against you... anyone else would be glad to have that!
Thanks , Bill. Today , 64.5 deg F , wind W8. 35.0 miles , 68.63 MPG. Tank is at 362.1 miles , 71.05 MPG.
48.5 / 5.3 - home last night, low for some reason ?? 46 / 7.0 - to school for Meet the Teacher night 55.9 / 7.0 - back home 66.1 / 5.2 - better this morning Tank is up another tenth to 51 / 585 mi. And the low fuel light came on.
That is a possibility! But... I needed gas for the mower this weekend, and it's silly to not fill my car with the low fuel light on while I'm at the gas station. So I filled it. 41.7 / 2.2 - gas station 48.9 / 5.6 - home for the lunch I forgot this morning. 64.3 / 5.1 - work Fillup: 590 miles 11.209 gallons 52.6 mpg, 1.5 higher than SG was telling me!
