62,083kms - Mostly short trips to Lunenburg for work with 2 to New Germany for subbing. Added STP Octane Booster this tank. The Fuel Light flickered near tank-empty - came on entering Lunenburg Tim Hortons parking lot (607kms), went out down Schnare's Crossing Rd. hill, came back on on Fauxburg Rd. on the way to get gas. Car was for service at Oregans on Oct. 2nd. Ignition Antenna Coil replaced under warranty, rear brakes cleaned & adjusted, parking brake tightened.

61,463 - Oddly, MPG is much lower this tank compared to the last few, prob because of the repetitive short trips to Lunenburg for work...? Mostly driving at 80k & 50kph with a trip or two to New Germany across the 103. Had an oil change at Gary's on Sept. 24th (at 61360kms). Going to check tire pressure tomorrow in case that contributed; haven't checked them in awhile.

60,874 - Mileage wasn't as high this time due to some shorter drives and longer drives with a lot of cargo/passengers. Mostly driving at 80kph and 100kph, with a bit of 50kph in town.

60,259 - Mileage wasn't as high this time due to the shorter drives to Lunenburg and Bridgewater (That's why I increased the city percentage on this fill-up). Mostly driving at 80kph and 100kph, with a bit of 50kph in town. Also had one or two trips with a full load in the car, which would've affected fuel economy as well. I will have to check the oil again soon as it's hard to read the dipstick compared to my old car.

59,646kms - Once again, some highway driving to Liverpool for work. Mostly driving 80kph and 50kph to work in Lunenburg though. Checked tire pressures and oil last week. SELF NOTE: This is the first fillup since Irving cancelled their CAA participation.

59,017kms - Expensive fillup! Once again, some highway driving to Liverpool for work - less construction though, so no needing to stop. On July 12, I had to fully load Humdrum with gear to bring back from the Liverpool Library for work, so that could explain any lower fuel economy. SELF NOTE 1: I'll be adding Humdrum's current kms as of each fillup to the start of my notes from now on. SELF NOTE 2: Irving is cancelling their CAA participation this month.

Fuel light was on. A lot of highway driving to Liverpool on this tank for work, mostly going 90/100kph. There has been a lot of construction on the 103 in places in the last few weeks, but I always shut the engine off while waiting at the construction stops. On some trips I've been carrying a lot of gear in the car. Also, as it's been quite hot on some days, we've driven on the highway with the windows down - that may explain the slightly worse fuel economy than usual.

Could've got a little more out of this tank (had 1 or 2 more litres left compared to when I usually fill it), but had to get gas as was on my way to Liverpool for work. My mileage wasn't as high this time, but that's probably due to the short drives to Lunenburg and back (That's why I increased the city percentage). I think the "burning fuel too quickly" I mentioned last time WAS just all in my head as mileage seems about right. Mostly driving at 50kph and 80kph.

Fuel light was on; fully filled on the way to work. I've driven 90kms (mostly 80/90kph) since this fill-up & noticed I'm already at 7/8ths full; seems to be burning gas far more quickly...? (Last fill-up I don't recall the needle moving off "Full" until I'd gone 120-ish kms...?) I'll check for a leak, but haven't smelled gas; already checked if handbrake was sticking & if clutch was slipping but haven't smelled any burning/heard anything odd. COULD all just be in my head...

Filled to the brim; had a little trouble with the pump at the station, so had to fill it three separate times, according to their system. (I have receipts for each). The needle was halfway touching "E" when I filled up. Car is still starting normally now that I have switched to the other key, and also since the Fuel Injector Cleaner and Gas Treatment bottles. I paid $10.60 in cash and put the rest ($39.50) on credit.

Filled to the brim. Was at a a bit under an 8th of a tank left when I got gas...maybe a little bit under. Added a full bottle of STP Gas Treatment. Car has been starting more easily the last few days, so maybe the last bottle of Fuel Injector Cleaner worked...? I paid $15.00 in cash and put the rest ($32.01) on credit.

Filled to the brim on the way to Liverpool. Was at about an 8th of a tank left when I got gas - maybe a little bit under. Added a full bottle of Motormaster Fuel Injector Cleaner as Humdrum didn't seem to be starting as easily each time; maybe it will make a difference? She was sitting for a year on the dealer lot before I bought her, so not sure how much she was driven.

First fill-up since I bought it. I don't know how many litres were put into the car in the fill-up before I purchased Humdrum.

I was told when I had Humdrum inspected before I bought the car that the left-front headlight assembly has a crack on the top corner that passes all the way through the lens. It won't pass safety inspection next year without repair, so I will have to find a new or salvage replacement by then. No water has leaked into it yet though!
