Drove this tank without a care for fuel mileage. Of course it shows. Also found out that my tires were low pressure. 35psi instead of the 40 i usually do. Next tank I am going to be more careful with the accelerator pedal.

Put midgrade in, but didn't reflect it in the price of this fillup. Just wanted to keep track of the regular price of gas. Average mpg and mph was 39. See how this next tank does. Been very miserly with my driving. Cruise at 65. Sucks being stuck in the slow lane, but curious to see how my driving is affecting the mileage.

Mileage on the display is shooting up for some strange reason. Last tank and this tank was midgrage fuel. Just testing to see if it made a difference.

Mileage is very crappy lately. No more AC going on since temps have dropped. 35 mpg and 35 mph averages according to computer. Just changed air filter in this fuel up, but currently looks like it didn't make a difference.

This last tank was filled up at crappy no name in Springfield MA. Hopefully that is the cause of such poor gas mileage. Car said 35.5 at an average speed of 40. Been driving fast on this tank, but don't think that is the cause too much

Did the oil change mid tank. Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0-20W. I could swear it gets better mileage highway, but this next tank will tell. Average MPG was 39.1 and Average MPH was 39. Temperature has finally dropped. 70's instead of 100's. Probably the real reason why the mileage improved.

Mobil 1 oil change today. Advanced Mileage 0-20w with a mobil one filter. Besides my old VW Vanagon Syncro, the easiest oil change I have ever done. Super simple. Oil filter is very easy to get to. 11150 miles

Haven't used the AC much since last fillup. Average mpg was 38.1 and mph was 38. Added Marvel Mystery Oil to this tank. Don't thing the improvement was because of that, more the heat dropped and no AC.
