    Today it is 64 deg F in Naperville. 67 in Elk Grove.

    Wind NE 4

    Edit:
    Trip home - left work at 11:00 , temp was around

    I have tickets for a chamber music concert tonight, but not sure
    at the moment if I will go. Having some bad allergy symptoms today.

    2nd edit :
    I'm glad I went. The concert was stimulating.
    Traffic was okay, but light rain all the way home.

    Now it is 80 deg F in Naperville, when I left home at 6:30 this morning a bit cooler. After workout I went to pick up Kelly, just got home now.

    51.7 miles, fcd = 76.3 mpg.

    I definitely have enough fuel to go to work Tuesday, but probably buying fuel at my new BP in Wheaton on the way home.

    When I got to work ( 4:55 AM) my tank was at 697.8
    (679.5*1.027) miles, with 70 miles range. I don't work tomorrow,
    so if I don't drive this vehicle I MIGHT be able to wait until Thursday AM to fill up.

    Edit :
    trip home was 33.1 miles, fcd = 84.1 mpg.
    I think there is about 25 miles remaining.
    More than enough to get me to my BP Thursday morning.

    Took a slightly different route today ( IL 56 )

    Filled up at BP in Rice Lake Square (Wheaton).
    Using my BP Visa got me $0.15 off the pump price of $3.399.
    Pump 6 was broken, so I had to use pump 5.
    726.1 X 1.027 = 745.7 miles, fcd = 75.5 mpg.
    There was 20 miles remaining.
