1002 miles 15.99 gallons = 62.7 mpUSg
First 1000 mile tank for me of 2006!
That’s over 22 days.
14.5 days I drove my normal commute, total 62 miles, largely (90%) on the Highway #1 Trans Canada, speed limit 56 mph.
1 day I drove a shorter commute, total 40 miles.
The other days are weekends, and one public holiday.
I ran some errands to the grocery, hardware stores, and we attended some garage sales.
We visited with friends.
We went to the Symphony (Wagner, Mozart, Rimsky Korsakov)
Total cold starts I estimate at 41, which at 2milesworth per cold start, cost me quite a bit! I must make more use of the wife's truck for my errands!
Normally I drive by myself, early in the am, and pm, before the traffic build up.
Terrain is undulating – hilly. I drive to leverage the hills.
When the car is rolling the engine is always operating.
Tire pressures are up in the 40’s.
Tires are Michelin Energy MXV4 S8.
Fuel is Mohawk DieselMax, with the Howes and Racor additives.
Engine oil is Esso XD3, 0W30.
There’s 92,000 miles on the Odometer.
cheers.
