Recent Fuel-ups

Date	Miles	Gallons	Price	MPG	Notes
2/28/10	398.0	9.855	$2.51	40.4	Shell 87. About 56% highway. Nothing too out of the ordinary here. Slightly up from last tank, but nothing significant. I'd REALLY like to get my lifetime average up over 40, but at this rate it's going to take quite a while. :) Perhaps with warmer weather coming, I can do so by summer. After my current tank, the car will have about 2,500 miles on it and should be getting close to broken in. I will start experimenting with higher tire pressures and see how much that helps.
1/26/10	417.6	10.403	$2.50	40.1	Shell 87. This tank is right in line with the average from the previous two, or perhaps a tiny bit better, but I don't think the difference is statistically significant, only 1.1%. What's interesting is that this tank was 40% highway and 60% city, yet fuel economy was virtually identical. I think as the car gets more miles on it, FE is going up. I can't think of any other reason this tank wasn't lower than the last one.
1/07/10	407.9	9.528	$2.94	42.8	Shell 91. OK, continuing on from the last fill, this tank has a very high MPG, 42.8! Using the totals from the last two tanks (812.4 miles, 20.208 gallons), the average MPG is 40.2, which is almost exactly in the middle. This tank was 60% highway and 40% in town.
12/16/09	404.5	10.680	$2.53	37.9	Shell 87; Gas station was having problems with the pumps. They would only pump VERY slow. It took 35 minutes to fill my tank. As a result, I think I put in more gas than I normally would have had the atuo-shutoff worked normally. This effectively understates true MPG. The next fill-up will correct this error and the two-tank average will be more accurate.
12/05/09	318.5	8.400	$2.88	37.9	Shell 91. About 250 miles of this tank was highway miles, balance was in town.
12/02/09	189.5	5.342	$2.68	35.5	Shell 89.
11/28/09	-	8.000	$2.60	-	Initial dealer fill-up; brand/grade unknown.
