T/A Fuel Center, Rt 42 NE London. BP brand. No additives. In route to Dayton Airshow. MFI calculated 43.8 mpg, so every tank since the diesel emissions fix has come in about 2 gallons below the MFI number.

Certified. No additives. Second tank consumed post fix. MFI calculated 44.5 mpg, and for the second straight time, the MFI comes in much lower than the Fuelly MPG calculation. Warmest May on record for central-Ohio. Car has less torque and power, and also runs pretty rough during mild throttle events sometimes, but I think I am still very pleased to have the restitution money. RUG is $2.79

Certified. No additives. RUG is about $2.79 gal. This is the first tank consumed post VW emissions fix. The engine definitely has less torque, especially low-end torque). Most disappointing is that the car's end of tank MFI calculation was 44+ mpg, yet Fuelly determined only 40 mpg on the tank. Still, provided the car doesn't have repair issues going forward, I think I have to be satisfied with the restitution overall because it's like I got free fuel for 7 years - and even with neutered performance, it's still better than a Honda.

Certified. No additives. Less trips to school, but April has been much cooler than normal. Also had one 30 minute stalled traffic event, and the dealer had to drive it for about 45 miles over two days as I took it in for the emissions retro-fit yesterday, but had to take it back today(had an O2 sensor problem), and the dealer had to put 30 miles on it today to see if the problem would repeat itself, so going forward, I should see lower mpg's over the life of the car.

Certified at 6:00am. 4 oz of PS Silver (Diesel Klean + Cetane Boost). The previous tank was the first time I have used this (8 oz dose), and since I didn't notice the stammering symptoms as commonly, this product might have cleaned some injector fouling, and the 46 mpg on the tank is higher than I expected for routine needs driving.

Certified. Added 8 ounces of PS Diesel Clean and Cetane Boost (this is the first time I have used this formula, and 8 ounces is nearly a double dose). First use of an additive since adding some PSW 8 months ago in November, and before that I had not used any additives going all the way back to regular use during April of 2016.

Citgo PS Food Mart, 655 Tecumseh St., Dundee, MI. No additives. Engine ran a little rough on a couple of occasions using the fuel purchased near Seney in route to Marquette, but this 50 MPG still included all of the driving we did around the mid-U.P. No Ivan, but we are still loaded with weight (bicycles too).

Engine is a little rough sometimes when cold, and I noticed a lot of white looking exhaust in the rear-view mirror during one aggressive throttling event. Still, I think the car is operating the way the engineers intended for it to
