Not sure what happened this tank. My oil level dropped, so I might have a leak somewhere, that might explain the lower mpg. I don't know if the fuel changed, the weather hasn't dropped too cold here. Maybe this is normal for this weather. Normal is around 39.

Filled the tank with ULSD in Indiana because it was such a good price ($2.499 on the I80/I90 tristate). Got a new set of tires about halfway through. Made no attempt to drive for MPG
