Apr 15 2015

No additives (purge in prep for Amsoil). Warmer weather finally and with that I have finally given a full throttle in 3rd up a hill.

Apr 1 2015

Certified. I was in the neighborhood, and since we are again supposed to have a sudden drop in temperature in two days, and today was warm enough to wear a t-shirt..., and I added 1 oz of PSWhite.

Mar 25 2015

Certified. 2 oz PSWhite. I have a half full tank, and it is almost 70 degrees with humidity today, and in two days temperature goes back to mid 20's with high in mid 30's, and I was near the Certified station, so again I will avoid contributing to a condensation environment in my fuel tank.

Mar 13 2015

Certified. Added 4 oz PSWhite. This is the first additive I have added in 3 months. Price of RUL is about $2.29. We are finally getting a change in the winter weather with warming temps, so I added this PSWhite to help diffuse any water in my fuel tank, and I fueled now because heavy rain is expected tomorrow.

Feb 27 2015

Certified. Still no additives. February has been cold, so again I will fill a little early (this time to avoid airspace when temps climb to 40 with rain early next week). Reg unleaded has stayed around $2.35. This is the worst mpg tank ever, but it has been cold and a lot of my driving has been family neighborhood stuff.

Feb 13 2015

Certified. No additives. Weather has been more cold, and very cold weather is coming, so I filled up early. Price of reg unleaded has come back up to about $2.29, so the early season disparity between diesel and gas seems more typical.

Jan 6 2015

Certified on Harmon. No additives again. Price of diesel fuel dipped finally today while price of unleaded gasoline has been as low as $1.77 during the past few weeks. Diesel has been no lower than $3.59 during this spell of rapidly falling gas prices. Weather has not been that cold since Thanksgiving and no snow over the past 30 days, but we had 4" of powder snow last night.

Dec 1 2014

Certified. No additives because unusually cold temperatures arrived very suddenly back in mid-November, so diesel suppliers have certainly juiced their fuels with lots of anti-gel additives. A few of the drives to work got me less than 38mpg, and there have also been lots of short trips on this tank.

Sep 27 2014

Certified (combined purchases made on 9/25 and 9/27 because I forgot to write down my mileage after filling-up on 9/25). Added only 2 oz of Amsoil Diesel Concentrate. Quite a bit of running short errands in this tank.

Certified. 3 oz Amsoil Diesel Concentrate. This is the lowest I have ever had the fuel-tank before refilling. Added half quart of Amsoil 5-30 European a few days ago. The Byers 30,000 mile service revealed an oil stain on a white nylon hose sheath, grit around the inside of the oil-fill throat, and oil level was low on entire trip to Michigan.

May 29 2014

Certified. 3 oz Amsoil Diesel Concentrate. Price of regular unleaded today is $3.99, so way ahead compared to what the test of hi-test would have been for the Jeep today. This tank included a 52 mpg drive to work, but still doing LOTS of city driving (including round and round looking for a parking space).
