Almost all city again. More traffic then usual due to construction and accidents on my commute... Tire pressure steady at 35psi with Nitrogen. 2 months/3000 km later and I never lost any tire pressure! I'm surprised I had this much good mileage this tank. ScanGuageII is showing accurate mileage. odometer: 59537 km

Swapped my winter tires for my new Goodyear Eagle GT all-seasons mounted on my new 17" alloys. Bigger rims means more weight to carry. Filled with nitrogen to 33psi. Now using a ScanGuageII to track my fuel economy instantly as well as my tank average. All city driving and colder temperatures for a few days. Odometer: 56942 km

Got my ECM changed by Toyota at the start of this tank. No noticeable difference. Maybe better fuel economy? The part was covered by the recall. This tank was 40 hwy / 60 city since I brought my alloy wheels to the refinishing shop in a remote area. Last tank with my winter tires (36psi). Odometer: 56427 km
