    Thanks for starting our thread, Gord.
    I am not even sure what our local gas prices are. I am not driving
    anywhere today ( but I did take a ride on the Giant ) but I have about 15 miles remaining
    so I will have fill up tomorrow. My BP Visa gives $.15/gallon off the credit price, but some of the
    BP stations are in " zones", so their prices are whatever the market will near. And the BP map
    shows me where all the stations are located, but for some reason they disabled the feature that showed
    the current pump price for 87 E10.

    I filled up the Elantra today.
    A different BP station, in Naperville.
    680.7 miles, fcd = 68.1 mpg.
    $3.049 per gallon, 10.362 gallons.

    Later on, I filled up both motorcycles at an Amoco very close to home.
    I figured my BP Visa card would work for the $.15 discount.
    It worked.

    Today it is 36 deg F in Naperville, 40 in Elk Grove.

    Wind S 2

    33.2 miles, fcd = 65.3 mpg

    Edit:
    I think I'll have a stiff headwind on the way home.
    Poop !
    Actually , the wind that was predicted to be S17 when I left work
    was only S 11. And I ended up with 32.9 miles, fcd = 74.6 mpg.
    The tank is at 69.8, but the trip into work tomorrow morning on the
    Interstates will bring that down.

    33.1 miles, fcd = 59.7 mpg.

    The 33.1 comes from Google Maps following the exact route I take in the morning.
    My odometer says 32.3 miles. 33.1/32.3 = 1.0248.

    BillLin electric everything with solar and geothermal

    Over here, I think they call them pension plans, making them sound less crooked. ;)

    I left the RZ with the dealer today for a defroster recall and free NACS to CCS1 adapter. The loaner NX350h (similar to RAV4 Hybrid) was nice. About 47 MPG after 40 miles round trip. Temp around 41F(5C). When I got the NX, it showed they had warmed it up for me, showing 2.2 MPG. :eek:

    I hate when they do that. When I used the Toyota dealer for oil changes , I would give them specific instructions :
    Don't touch the tire pressure ! And don't leave it in ready mode.
