3.859 | I drove the first 190 miles or so, and Michal drove up north to help her sister out with a yard sale. The in-laws insisted on topping the truck off, even though it didn't really need it. | 20.38 |

3.289 | The truck was used for a lot of short drives and commuting while my del Sol was out of commission. It also got some farm work and nasty hauling duty. It started getting poor mileage in the past few tanks, then the water pump started leaking. I changed out the water pump, belt, and tensioner pulley. The fan clutch started working correctly again. I also changed out the plugs, plug wires, cap, and rotor just before I filled up. | 20.10 |

3.799 | Commuting back and forth to work and around town while the del Sol is being repainted. I hauled a load of mulch to Mechanicsburgh, but not much else in the way of hauling. The truck was driven somewhat hard during the commute, since I had to drive straight across town. | 21.17 |

3.289 | 180 miles of highway driving at 60 mph; 200 miles of highway driving at 70 mph, and a lot of hauling work. I also replaced the EGR valve right about 100 miles before I filled up, since it was throwing the CEL. | 20.57 |
