Jun 10 2016

103,540 - Many trips to New Ross on this tank - tried the 'Go Immediately' routine for driving, i.e. moving the second the engine is started. This may be hard on the engine, however, so discontinuing after this tank.

May 29 2016

102,938 - Some trips to New Germany and New Ross for subbing on this tank. Winter tires were taken off on the 19th of May - a lot of wear on the inner edges (too much toe-in on the front alignment). Appointment was booked for May 26th for an oil change/alignment.

102,348 - Several trips to New Ross and New Germany on this tank. Filler at New Germany seemed to shut off much earlier than most Irving fillers elsewhere (shut off at 36L vs 39-40L?) - could be that sensor is different, so tank may not have been filled as much as usual? Winter tires to be taken off on the 19th of May (in two days).

95,578 - Still trips to Lunenburg and Bridgewater. Filled at light-on on the way to the library. Oil change/Timing Belt replacement and undercoating completed on Nov. 26th and Nov. 27th, respectively. Winter tires are now on as well and may be contributing to lower economy along with freezing temperatures. Vehicle registration is complete, but sticker has to be attached before the end of December.

95,018 - Still trips to Lunenburg and Bridgewater. Slow leak in drivers' side is slightly worse - needs to be pumped up once every two days or so and is prob accounting for poor mileage. Filled at light-on on the way home from computer work in Oakland. Oil change is still needed soon (92,000kms-93,000?) and is now overdue. Timing Belt replacement (96,000kms) is necessary soon as well. Next service - Oil Change, winter tires, timing belt, suspension clunks. Vehicle Registration renewal complete - sticker has to be attached before the end of Dec. Cooler temps may also be causing lower fuel mileage.
