This tank was an unplanned stop at the CITGO at the Norfolk NEX and was mostly hwy miles. Refilled with 45 CT Hess and I wont be reporting in again until Nov when I get back from a small deployment. If this is an indicator of what I can expect once fully broken in, Im more than happy.

7th tank with the gearbox upgrade.

Tank 52:

Journey profile: 56m/day, 70% motorway.
Techniques: Mild P+G, 60mph max.

off full @ 108,
3/4 @ 220,
1/2 @ 338,
1/4 @ 493,
Reserve @ 553,
Final section 615.8,

Temps 13c - 22c,
Weather - starting to get colder.
Traffic - good.

This whole tank had the remains of the exhaust tunnel cover hanging down into the airstream, and this has had an obvious impact on the intermediate mpg figures (about 3 mpg). I am planning what to do about this (either install a new exhaust tunnel cover, or install a belly pan from the subframe to the rear)
