Certified. No additives. A/C is still working good. Price of RUG is about $2.85. MFI displayed 44.9 mpg, so it seems the 2.5 MPG disparity since the emissions fix will be permanent.

Certified. No additives added this time (and this completed tank had a double shot of PS Diesel Kleen). Enjoyed some use of the A/C during this tank. MFI indicated that I got 46.7 mpg, but Fuelly calculates 42.2, so the emissions fix continues to show a disparity of at least 3 miles per gallon.

Certified. Double dose of PS Diesel Kleen (bottle got caught in the filler-throat, so I might have added about 7 oz). The consumed tank was purchased on the way to Dayton. Fuelly calculates a 44 mpg, but MFI indicates 47 mpg, so the disparity since the emissions fix continues. Current price of RUG is $2.85.

T/A Fuel Center, Rt 42 NE London. BP brand. No additives. In route to Dayton Airshow. MFI calculated 43.8 mpg, so every tank since the diesel emissions fix has come in about 2 gallons below the MFI number.

Certified. No additives. Second tank consumed post fix. MFI calculated 44.5 mpg, and for the second straight time, the MFI comes in much lower than the Fuelly MPG calculation. Warmest May on record for central-Ohio. Car has less torque and power, and also runs pretty rough during mild throttle events sometimes, but I think I am still very pleased to have the restitution money. RUG is $2.79

May 16 2018
Certified. No additives. RUG is about $2.79 gal. This is the first tank consumed post VW emissions fix. The engine definitely has less torque, especially low-end torque). Most disappointing is that the car's end of tank MFI calculation was 44+ mpg, yet Fuelly determined only 40 mpg on the tank. Still, provided the car doesn't have repair issues going forward, I think I have to be satisfied with the restitution overall because it's like I got free fuel for 7 years - and even with neutered performance, it's still better than a Honda.

Certified. No additives. Less trips to school, but April has been much cooler than normal. Also had one 30 minute stalled traffic event, and the dealer had to drive it for about 45 miles over two days as I took it in for the emissions retro-fit yesterday, but had to take it back today(had an O2 sensor problem), and the dealer had to put 30 miles on it today to see if the problem would repeat itself, so going forward, I should see lower mpg's over the life of the car.
