Finally fixed the remote control for garage door opener. Eliminate starting up car twice, while closing/opening door, walking through house. Also, before at other place. Car sitting there idling while closing/opening door. This should be a consistent increase to mileage. How much? Small? But consistent increase. Only cost was shipping stuff back and forth. They ended up giving me a free remote.

Put Pirelli Cinturato P7 all season plus tires on the car. Can tell already. Will see better mileage.

Decided to change city/hwy percentages. I have a 12 mile commute one way. Yes, 5 miles of that is at 65mph. But one doesn't drive 5 miles, then slow down to a stop, then go back to 65 on usual hwy mileage. Also the rest is 45 down to 30. With traffic lights. I have a different route I could take. Higher speeds. But still have to come to a stop after 4 miles. Then lights. A good size hill on this route too. I do think, critically, either route, it should be 60% city, 40% hwy. Would give a truer assessment of my daily driving. Am going back to edit previous fuel ups on this.

I did waste some gas sitting in line at a car wash. Also sitting eating while car running. Otherwise... Before this tank. I was playing with pressure on tires. About half the tank was actually 32 psi. It was higher earlier. Looks like higher pressures got me better mileage? Will soon change tires.
