Sheetz in Monroeville, PA Pump 4. I don't think this tank's accurate, I think it's too optimistic. The real MPG figure should have been 20.1, according to my on-board computer.

Tried to make a better hot air intake in this tank, and ended up lightly pulling the air temp sensor plug out just enough to make it not work right. The car was then in "Failsafe Mode," and I ended up idling the engine a bit near the end of the tank, losing a few miles. I pulled the hot air intake piping from the engine, in my haste to fix the car. I'll have to add it again, at a later date, but not yet.

Citgo Pump 4. This past tank, aired tires up to 50 Front 55 Rear for the last 100 - 130 miles, because I had to idle the engine so much. I then deflated them to 45 Front, 50 Rear after I filled up this time.

On this previous tank (not at this fill up,) I had: 1: Added 12 Oz Amsoil Performance Improver after the pump shut off. 2: A bad rear wheel bearing, on the Passenger side. When I replaced the wheel bearing, I also replaced the rear brake pads, a rotor, and the passenger side brake caliper (which was sticking a bit.) If it wasn't for the bearing and caliper for the last year or two, I might have had higher mileage. 40 PSI Front / 45 Rear.

The previous tank was in error, and so this one is too. The next one will also be a little off, because I added 12 oz Amsoil P.I at this fill up. Also: changed the fuel filter near the end of this tank, and changed oil to Amsoil Signature Series 10w30. Tire Pressure - 40 Front, 45 Rear.

This is probably a Fluke Tank due to a short fill not being accurate. The on-board meter said 22 MPG. If there's a false reading in the next tank, that will average it all out.

40 PSI Front, 45 PSI Rear. 381.7 Miles Tank, 21.5 MPG if the pump wasn't acting up at the end; it shut off prematurely at about 1.5 gallons earlier, and I'm not sure why. It was vibrating just before that, but it didn't vibrate when it got to the top.

Pump 9. Added 4 oz Opti-Lube XL at this fill, too. This past tank was done on Marvel Mystery Oil, and I removed the oil about 150 miles in to this next tank. I changed the oil to Pennzoil Platinum 5w30.

Went to Pump 9 this time, instead of Pump 6. Added 4 Oz of Opti-Lube XL before filling up. Also added 24 Oz of Marvel Mystery Oil to the crankcase, since 1: I'm close to an oil change, and 2: the engine was low on oil.
