On this tank I was partway in when I accidentally reset the trip odometer and that's about when I installed the ScanGauge so I used the SG's average to guess miles driven...if I ever find the missing fill receipts I'll figure it out for sure. | 18.50 |

3.989 | I've been stressed, hurried, and tired, as well as still having construction on my commute. I was not able to hypermile as well for this tank due to those conditions. | 18.63 |

234.6 |
12.172 |
3.96 | This MPG figure is as expected based on previous tank. Some additional waste due to road construction and extremely hot days with 100% A/C usage, as well as being too tired to put much energy into hypermiling. This is a good baseline number and I can now try some mods. | 19.27 |
| 06/05/2008 |
241.4 |
12.394 |
3.879 | Did the same stuff as last tank, but had lots of waste. Why did my results improve? I idled for 10 to 15 minutes a couple times in construction traffic, and used headlights and wipers a lot due to weather conditions, and the weather was cooler too. I suppose my window being up more could have contributed. | 19.47 |
| 05/29/2008 |

12.791 |
3.909 | P&G (using N but not EOC) works in an automatic. This is proof. I haven't gotten this kind of mileage in years, since the truck was brand new and I was driving 100% highway with the cruise control at 65. | 18.31 |
