Filled up today: 396.3 mi., 4.7 gal (US) = 84.3 mpg (US).
SG was off by 4.6% on the mpg calc. It said 88.2 - reported slightly under on distance (saying 392 mi.), and quite under on fuel used (said 4.4 gal). |

Right - I didn't change anything on the SG after last fill.
I don't know why there would be such a difference. I thought of the evaporation idea too over the winter, but the car is supposed to have a closed loop system (and it was tested as part of the emissions test). It's a mystery. Anyway, I'll re-jig the SG before I drive next. So it's more accurate on this tank. |

Yeah, I don't think so!
It could be done, but I'd have to make very selective trips (that aren't too long, because P&G in 2nd - 3rd gear at 25 mph avg gets kind of tedious). My "current tank" is sitting at 108 mpg (US) indicated - corrected down 5% = 103ish. (That's the couple of km's from the gas station to the house :)) |

Report for 4/22-29.
CO ZX2. This week I had 2 roundtrips over a route I run often. Two mostly calm days. 95.7 mpg (73 miles) and 97.4 mpg (75 miles). My best by far. Overdrive. The other 4 of my team had fillups this week, 3 of them had multiple fills. Those are noted in their gaslogs. Nice going, guys. |
I was doing great 47.3 mpg tank until Friday when I had to run some really short trips up and down hills on really bummy streets for about a half mile each way but still not too bad and started house sitting 1 mile from office with a really tough driveway to turn around in.
SGII 4/28 end of day reading = 43.9mpg tank 4.2 gallons 183 miles 25mph average |
