Made a point of NOT using my emergency/parking brake for this entire tank. I did, however, run the A/C some. This tank did better on mileage, leading me to believe that the e-brake is sticking, likely an actuation cable slightly rusted from lack of use by former owners. North Kingstown BP station.

Pretty much regular driving this tank. Mostly commuting, some highway, some A/C. Did a little off-roading.... Filled up ak NK BP station. My emergency brake may be sticking a little, causing this consistently "low" mileage rating.

Shell station, but not the usual. This is the first full tank run with the new ECM (last fill-up was a top off). Nice difference.

Again, changed oil. Went to 0w-40 to prevent any issues with the turbo (had strong recommendations for this). Did that last night, and fueled up just before work. Oil had been 20w-50 for about 135 miles of this fillup. Filled up at the Shell station near work - the one that angles me downhill. ULSD. (Middletown Shell)

Changed Oil to 20w-50, plus STP viscosity booster. Installed new Green Diesel Engineering ECU (ECO Tune). Completed change of PVC crank vent to upstream of air-box. Note: re-installed VH relay due to adjusted parameters in the GDE ECO Tune ECU. (NK Lukoil)

Figured out how to get the TC to fully lock up at cruise speed. TC locks at ~63-65 mph. Set cruise control, then drop speed back to ~59-60 mph. Engine is only turning about 1,700 rpms at this speed. -Did not fuel at regular station, was on flat surface. May have not filled as much as my regular Shell station, where the nose is aimed downhill. (NK Lukoil)

Regular commuting driving. Heavy, heavy rains. Aired tires to 39 psi, pulled relay for the VH. Also fueled up on an incline, nose down, so additional fuel may have been added (Middletown Shell)
