Week of December 11 to December 17 (Nat’l Avg $2.462)

Thanks , Gord. Five deg F ? And my son-in-law didn't want to live in Chicago because of the weather ! They live in Yately, England.
Today , a balmy 25.5 deg F , wind SSE 4. 35.1 miles , 61.29 MPG. Tank is at 125.3 miles , 60.08 MPG.

 

I figured that I spelled that incorrectly. You see , I learned "American" English. We have done some strange/horrible things to your language.

And I guessed at the spelling. Another thing that Americans do. I'll include Canadians too, so puddleglum isn't excluded.

 

Cool! Probably very pure water in the dew. With contaminants after wiping, it iced. Just guessing...

 

Gord, you got record cold and we had nearly record heat Sunday. Got to 10.2*C and record was 10.6*C. Cooler today but still mild.
Edwin, I agree we do the same thing with the language, but we do have several words that are spelled differently than in the US.
Andrew, my guess is the glass was right at the freezing point. It wasn't quite cold enough to freeze the droplets, but could freeze the thin film left from wiping, maybe?

Had to make a stop on the way to work this morning so commute was longer. 49 - 6.3 mi., 19*F.
52 - 4.7 home, 35*F. Didn't get to plug in at work today.
Tank is showing 43.7 mpg, just below 1/4 T and 443.6 miles.

 

Today , 18.5 deg F , wind NW14. Cold + headwind = poor results. 35.1 miles , 54.59 MPG. At the 7.5 mile point , just before getting on the Interstate , I have sometimes had fcd up to 80MPG. Today , 48 .

Tank is at 195.9 miles , 58.4 MPG. Scenic route to Geneva tonight , to have dinner with Amy.

 

We all have those days, hope today was better. Although, your mileage when you aren't trying is better than most people's when they're doing their best.

Another nearly record warm day ( It froze in the night but got to 50*F).
45.2 - 4 mi., 34*F to work and 59.2 - 4.7 mi., 43*F coming home.

 

Oh I definitely get not being in the mood...

After being in the northeast for about a week and not seeing a high of over freezing for about three days, I'm glad to be South and seeing balmy high 50s.

I'm due home in about a week. Hope it won't be super cold. I grabbed a couple of weeks off and we're planning a vacation. Fuel economy won't matter to us unless my queen grants me driving privileges

Truck's struggled...down to 7.7mpg since I got back in it early November. Today helped with an 8.2mpg average. Still puzzling over DEF usage. Two straight fills with bad mileage (~100mpg) so I figured the cold really screws with the DEF catalyst, but my last one was back to the average (~210mpg)? And that's including a lot of the sub-freezing stuff plus a Virginia snowstorm and some Appalachian crossings...

I wonder if I chalk this up to the fact that at 437k miles, it's just getting clapped out.

 

Some of these very cold days , I do less P&G and more DWL , in an effort to maintain coolant temperature.
Today , I did more P&G , but glides were shorter. Tires were good a few weeks ago , but may have lost pressure since.
24.5 deg F , wind S13. 35.1 miles , 59.43 MPG. Tank is at 275.5 miles , 58.31 MPG.
Date with Amy went WELL.

 

Thanks. Cooler temps make it harder for sure, but for me this is crazy warm for December. It actually set a record yesterday, 51.3*F, warmer than I thought. Last year we were well into the minuses and high wind chills. I'll gladly take this.
Cooler today but mild. Traffic seemed more congested than usual this morning though. 42.7 - 4 mi, 19*F.
57.9 - 4.7 mi, 36*F home.

 

Today , 16 deg F , wind NNW9 ( mostly headwind). 35.2 miles , 54.5 MPG. Tank is at 344.9 miles , 57.75 MPG.

 

We're feeling the chill in New England, too. (like the upper Mid-West, not like Alberta)

 

44 - 4 mi., 16.5*F to work this morning.
61 - 5.4 mi., 30*F home with a small detour and a quick stop.
Out again with family this evening. 38.4 - 1.7 mi. 56.7 - 2 mi. home.
I live in a river valley so almost everywhere I go is uphill going and downhill home.

 

Today , 24 deg F , wind WSW11. 35.2 miles , 58.68 MPG. Tank is at 414.2 miles , 58.12 MPG.

I will have Amy in the car Sunday , so I want to make her comfortable. Sigh. So I will give her heat.
