@ 103,999mi. Guy at the pump over asked what she retailed for new. Interesting. Have I mentioned I hate construction? And traffic? And driving in the city? And she's slower with 140* IATs and the a/c on?

Still 20c premium for n oxy. SCREW CONSTRUCTION. Put up a sign telling me my road is closed, the day that it's closed. Thanks for the heads-up.

Don't know how much I'll be driving this weekend, so I filled up with N OXY while I knew I had the chance. 20c premium. Lot more city driving with that stupid construction. Gave her a vinegar bath this morning!

N OXY again! 25c more money now. Didn't fully trust the last fill, this time the pump went for half a gallon more than the comp said, and that pretty much never happens. Drove to kato and back, and had some photo sessions.

3:39 of highway driving home. Cruise control on speed limit, no a/c. Was expecting a little better. All the bug guts on the front makes it look like she has a 5 o'clock shadow. ;)

Two things I dislike that go with each other: road construction and traffic. Has become a part of my commute for the rest of the summer. Did drive to WI once, so that bumped mpg a little.

Any time the weather was nice, the windows were down. So, the windows were down all the time except for when we had bad storms. Drove around a bit more than usual. Did an oil change.

Was doing really well on mpg. Then the weekend came, and I finally activated the factory shift light on the dash. Played around with that, and thus took it over 6k rpm more than usual. What fun!

This tank, and the previous few couple months, should essentially be disregarded as far as individual MPG. I replaced the evap canister pressure release solenoid, and the following fill-ups will be correct. The discrepancy gradually built to 1.5 gal.

Who sets the gas prices? They shouldn't pass go, and shouldn't collect $200. Same with parking enforcement officers.

Balls. Why is the price going like this? I didn't take the mpg serious, the weather was too nice much of the time. Then it rains. And I finally buffed and waxed her. And a new battery. And a new spoiler.

The weather is finally nice, driving with the windows down. It sounds good when I put my foot in it... so... sometimes I said, "screw mpg."

Mostly more of the same. Except that it snowed in May. And I still have my snow tires on. They're too used up to be considered snow tires anymore, anyways.

Trying out regular oxygenated (albeit summer blend now) gas for a while. Gotta do this scientifically! Haven't switched back to summer tires again yet.
