On Gulf fuel with 4 oz PS Grey. Fill-up with same. A couple of long highway days mixed in with almost all city driving. 32 mph average, but only 70% city, 30% hwy. Mostly in the 20's the past week, with a few snow storms.

On Gulf fuel w/ 4 oz PS-Grey, fillup at Gulf w/ 4 oz PS-Grey. Weather's been pretty cold but mostly dry so I've stayed the country roads this tank--shorter commute (18 miles ea way vs. 26 on the hwy), to save my snow tires as much as possible. Also had 10 inches of snow in the first major snowstorm of the year. Estimating 72% city, 28% hwy, avg speed 26 mph.

On Shell with 4 oz PS Grey. Fillup at Gulf with 4 oz PS Grey. I switched to new winter tires about 300 miles into this tank and have been taking mostly back country roads instead of highways to spare the new winter treads until the weather really gets cold (it's been hovering in the mid-40s for the past two weeks). I'm calculating this tank is 68% country/city driving, 32% highway. Average speed was 27 mph.

On Exxon fuel with 4 oz PS-Grey. Fillup at Shell with 4 oz PS-Grey. Running well after driveshaft replacement. Sounds like a proper diesel. Ran 30 mph average this tank, calculating about 59% city, 41% hwy mix.

Emergency fill-up at Exxon. Probably paid $0.40 more per gallon than if I waited for my regular Shell station. Not a very good tank, 32 mph average, 52 percent city, 48 hwy. Seems like winterized fuel is here for the season.

On Shell fuel, fillup at Shell. Approximately 55% city, 45% hwy. Noise that started 3,000 miles ago got so bad I brought it back to the dealer and they diagnosed faulty drivetrain. Swapped out and so far so good. This tank is about 20 miles of slow driving trying to replicate noise for dealer and another 250 miles of city driving and right laning anticipating a break-down, so mileage is pretty good considering.

Gulf. About 52 % city, 48% highway. Thought I'd be taking her to MD for the holiday, but we took the SUV instead, partly because of worrying powertrain/tranny noise. Fuel jockey at Gulf topped off for once, which hopefully accounts for the continuing drop in efficiency.

On Gulf with Stanadyne. Fill-up at Lukoil. A lot of city driving on this tank, trying to figure out some engine/tranny noise after the first 10K service (oil change, tire rotation).
