3.389 | There was some a/c usage on this tank. Mostly city miles. Not much hypermiling done because I was pushing the BG 44k through. Last 60 miles on this tank were straight highway, but I got caught in traffic on the DC beltway. (A traffic jam on Sunday night???) Plus I did some WOT acceleration at least twice a day to really help the 44K blow out the crap from the engine. Some a/c usage. Filled with Exxon 87 octane.

I haven't seen anyone here talking about 44K, but cleaning the valves and injectors doesn't sound like a bad idea. This tank was almost 100% short trip city driving.

3.779 | AAAAUGH!!!! The world is conspiring against me in my efforts to get better mileage! Yesterday I had to drive over to Vienna and I wasn't paying attention and let my GPS route me through downtown Herndon and Reston! Then to top it all off I had a road construction delay where I sat in traffic for almost 30 minutes. I was going to Manassas today, but then I saw a huge backup on 28 so I just turned around and decided to go to Leesburg instead. Extended airdam underneath the truck was installed on this tank. Filled with Sunoco 87 octane E10. (Leesburg, Va) | 14.02 |

3.899 | Driving in the mountains... Lots of DFCO on this tank, but got stuck for a considerable amount of time following a line painting crew @ 10 MPH for about 8-10 miles... I also got stuck in road construction where I sat in a 1 mile backup for about 20 minutes. I still feel pretty good about this tank. Figured I'd try premium and see what it does... After some thought I am thinking that maybe the previous tank wasn't E10 like the pump said. It was in an area that I don't think requires Ethanol, but the pump said 10% Ethanol. Filled up this time with Sheetz 93 octane E10. (White Post, Va) | 17.69 |

3.749 | I saw Exxon for $3.749. I couldn't pass it up. The last 20 miles on this tank were highway miles where I was trying to DFCO. Not sure if it was successful or not. At this fillup SG overestimated fuel usage by about a gallon. Not sure if it was because I really was DFCO'ing or is it because I calibrated the SG with methanol in the tank. This tank was mostly city driving, and some mild a/c usage.

3.889 | About 80 miles of city driving on this tank. Finished calibrating Scangauge with this fillup. SG should be pretty accurate from here on out. Also, this further dilutes the methanol in the tank. After this fillup I estimate there is about 8 to 10 ounces of methanol left. Filled up with RaceWay 87 octane E10. (Manassas, Va) | 15.67 |

4.079 | Top off tank to get started on calibrating the new ScanGauge. Also, the methanol in the last tank didn't seem to be doing much for me, looks like I hit right about 10 MPG, quite possibly the worst I have ever done in this vehicle. This tank was 100% city driving, and no A/C usage. Shell 87 octane E10. (Sterling, Va) | 10.58 |
