First tank switching from CAI to WAI. It's taking me so long to burn through tanks these days that I'm not sure what the driving conditions were like. It is still winter though, so it's been cold and maybe rainy.

It took a long time to use this much gas because I have been biking more. I don't remember all the driving conditions. It has been cold and rainy for the most part. There were several times where I let my car sit and warm up for a while.

Near the beginning of the tank I installed a cold air intake. Then I did some hard driving to test it out. Then I did a 180 mile freeway trip driving around 70-75 for half of it, and letting my non-hypermiling friend drive the other half. I finished off with "normal" driving. Somehow I got 33.6 mpg still, just under my average. So either my CAI made a positive difference in MPGs or the attendant topping off my tank at my last fill-up made a big difference.

About 50% highway 50% city. First full tank with tires inflated to 44psi. First full tank using EOC. Changed my fuel filter during the tank and probably spilled at least .25 gallons of fuel on the ground. Cold and rainy weather, hardtop up for the whole tank.

100% city driving. Drove semi-aggressively for about 15 miles. Had the top off for a little bit of this tank. Experimented with engine-off coasting and inflated the tires which were around 20-22psi up to 44psi, but not until the last quarter tank. Temperatures have really dropped a lot here lately.

Didn't drive conservatively 100% of the time. Wasn't as focused. All city driving I think. Some top down driving.
