Driving back and forth to work a couple of times, to the church and the junkyard. Helped Sandy move, and moved a piano for Donna. Temps were below 30 most of the tank, although the last few days were over 50.

Kevin drove the first 140 miles in town, with a lot of idling. Temps were below zero for a lot of the driving, with snow of up to 13 inches. I drove to Seymour and back, and then to Mechanicsburg to unload 300+ lbs of scrap from the bathroom rebuild. I fixed the cruise control at the end of the tank.

I drove the truck for 150 miles at an average of 17.4 mpg, then loaned it to Kevin from church. He did not reset the trip meter when he filled up. He had 3 fill-ups - this is the total of those 3. The average mileage per the Scangauge is 15.3, so I am guessing at the mileage at the last fill-up. I will add the rest of the mileage at the next fill-up. Temps have been between -15 and 35, and road conditions are terrible.

The truck has been doing only hauling duty and in-town driving from time to time just to start it. I did top off the tank a little bit. Temps have been as cold as -15, and we had over a foot of snow at the time of fill-up.

Lots of highway driving, as we spent the last 4 weekends helping people move. About 100 miles or so was spent around town, and about 1/2 of the tank was spent loaded with furniture, mulch, spare engines, etc.

I drove about 100 miles round trip helping my uncle move furniture to his new house. I drove back and forth to work and church, since the del Sol is still undergoing the engine swap. I picked up a load of scrap metal on 4/21, and have been driving around with it ever since. I will take to the scrap yard on 4/27.

Mostly commuting around town. The del Sol is having the engine swapped, so the truck is acting as my daily driver. I finally replaced the secondary O2 sensors toward the end of the tank. I did a lot of hard driving with 3/4 to full throttle. Temps were in the 30s to 70s.

Trip to Evansville and back. Took highway on the way down, with speeds in the 60-mph range. Took the interstate on the return trip, with speeds in the 65-75 mph range, with a bit of drafting on the and a tailwind. Scangauge showed 17 mpg after the highway trip and 19 mpg for the return trip. About 100-150 miles of around-town driving afterwards hurt the average. I topped off by 0.75 gallons.

Temps ranged from 0 to 50 degrees. I used the truck to commute a few times and to haul a few times. When I drove it, I tended to drive it hard. I did install a Scangauge just prior to the last fill-up, so I should have it calibrated now.

Fuel leak was getting worse; it was fixed about halfway through the tank. The temps were low, into the single digits at times, and the driving conditions were poor over the past 2 weeks, with a lot of snow and ice. The truck did not get much hauling duty, but it was driven somewhat hard, with a lot of hard acceleration runs and 70+ mph cruising. I installed a Scangauge prior to this tank, and wanted to see how the numbers look under different driving conditions.

Mostly hard driving, with some hauling as well. I spent some time trying to diagnose a CEL. I installed a K&N cold air intake halfway through the tank, and a Scangauge right at the end of the tank.

This tank suffered from a lot of idling and hard driving as we got the powertrain sorted out. Cleaned out the lifters, fixed the intake manifold gasket, and the timing Messed up the fuel lines, so we had a fuel leak for a while. The truck did some hauling work, and any highway driving was over 75 mph.
