Return of the king!!!... sort of
 

Well, return of the Spring at least. I just filled up today and I broke 40mpg.

This is with no correction of the speedometer for larger tires, but for whatever reason I don't think i need to adjust for the larger tires. I checked my speedometer with a handheld GPS unit and I was within +/- 1 mph of the actual speed.

50mpg, here I come!

I'm unsure if the past few days have been a freak occurance or if spring is in fact right around the corner.

We actually had to use the air conditioning on the way down! how freaky.

Woot! 55 MPG!
 

What a difference 10F makes! Monday on the way to work, 18F, 52.3 MPG. Today, 28F, 55.0 MPG.

W0000t! Back over 50 MPG for this tank!:-D

Crapoline
 

So when does the crapoline go away? Is it generally the beginning of April? I know every jurisdiction is different, just ballpark...

I think April sounds about right. It may take until closer to the end of the month for all of the crapoline to be fully out of the system though.
