3.5 | Back on 0w-30, previously on thicker oil and didn't post MPG for many reasons(averaged high 38-39 ish. :) | 42.77 |

3.34 | Fuel economy went down this tank. I didn't add MMO to this fill up. I had the previous two. Topped off some oil, as well, during this tank. | 40.77 |

3.09 | Lot of stop and go driving, full car of passengers so heavier on the throttle with the transmission needing service, several WOT and sporty driving for a change. MPG is about 5-6 MPG better than before when driving the car this way. | 45 |

2.95 | The car has been driving very smoothly lately and it may be the warmer weather. I need to change the MTF again. It's been somewhat rough, and is making me want to shift later when it was colder, so I believe that affected MPG a lot. | 49.41 |

2.86 | Will begin using MMO to the gas every so often. | 42.5 |

2.87 | Still lower than expected MPG. M/T fluid due for another change. The replacement 02 sensor still hasn't thrown a code 48 CEL and the car continues to drive smoother in stop 'n go so my conclusion about the Standard Motor Product replacement is still that it works like a champ. | 42.94 |

2.65 | Missed a gas log entry or two but have been getting from 45-50 mpg routinely combined driving. | 51 |

2.51 | This little interval involved taking the car onto the freeway for some WOT runs while trying to keep the engine in VTEC, all just prior to an emissions testing, Also, this was a good time to see how the car performed while under full load since replacing the LAF sensor. Results: A much better throttle response and good acceleration; no more drop in power heading up an incline in 5th gear while on the freeway like before(the luggggg of death). I can steadily increase MPH while in 5th on the freeway now, no need to drop into 3rd like before. | 43 |

2.52 | Lots of stop and go, full on A/C driving. Still waiting to say definitely if the sensor has helped fuel economy. It appears to have done a good job, though, so far. | 44.54 |

2.41 | This is the first gaslog with the new 02 sensor installed. It seems to have helped. AC usage continues, but the mileage improved noticeably already. Sure, it's probably inflated numbers somewhat, but I say overall a win. The car drives better/smoother. I finally can feel the car using its lean burn efficiently. | 47.14 |

2.42 | Most of this trip was done just after changing the oil over to 0w-30. We'll see long-term improvements over time. | 41.04 |

2.5 | Okay, so during this interval here I used a top-end engine cleaner, so mileage was affected adversely due to lots of WOT & hi-rev while staying in 1st and 2nd gears. That is the most efficient way to expel the remnants of the product, in order to burn the excess of what was dissolved out of the exhaust as well. *Note my 02 sensor is already gone so don't do this if you are worried of killing your sensor. Choice of product always depends on engine conditions prior to servicing this way etc. Will be changing oil from high mileage synthetic-blend oil to a 0w-30 over the weekend and should notice an increase in FE. LAF(02) sensor replacement will finally be done in the near future as well. Stay tuned. | 36 |

2.51 | In town, stop-and-go driving with A/C on most of the time for this fill up. | 40.90 |

2.61 | This "FE" was achieved while the car was being road tested for electrical/performance related problems. So, about 75 miles or so was really tough driving on this interval. I tend to stick to 5 gal fill ups and let it run close to 'bone dry', so my fluctuations are relatively 'accurate', though no scan gauge. | 40 |

2.62 | This was a 5 gallon fill-up before needing to re-fuel(though could have made it to 250). The first 75 miles were in town driving, the rest was on a road trip today, so the distance traveled was roughly 2/3s highway and 1/3 city, more or less; all with A/C on when needed. On the trip to MPH ranged from 65-75, trying to get some place. On the return trip home, MPH was held between 55-65 MPH, all the while generally heading into an upwards incline. Some FE techniques used, learned how to EOC. My LAF sensor is still throwing a CEL. | 48 |

2.44 | Similar best mileage to date, looking to improve. Worst MPG was during first use of A/C, down to 35-36 MPG, but have since implemented management of A/C for best FE and back at/over 40 with A/C. | 43 |
