Sep 27 2014

Certified (combined purchases made on 9/25 and 9/27 because I forgot to write down my mileage after filling-up on 9/25). Added only 2 oz of Amsoil Diesel Concentrate. Quite a bit of running short errands in this tank.

Certified. 3 oz Amsoil Diesel Concentrate. This is the lowest I have ever had the fuel-tank before refilling. Added half quart of Amsoil 5-30 European a few days ago. The Byers 30,000 mile service revealed an oil stain on a white nylon hose sheath, grit around the inside of the oil-fill throat, and oil level was low on entire trip to Michigan.

Certified. 3 oz Amsoil Diesel Concentrate. Price of regular unleaded today is $3.99, so way ahead compared to what the test of hi-test would have been for the Jeep today. This tank included a 52 mpg drive to work, but still doing LOTS of city driving (including round and round looking for a parking space).

Certified plus 2.5 oz of Amsoil Diesel Concentrate (thought about not adding an additive to prep for PS White). Went a full month on this tank since I have been working in-town for 3 weeks. Lots of city driving and many times I don't even get the car fully warmed up before shutting it back off.

Certified. 2 oz AmSoil Diesel Concentrate. Lots of driving to stores after work. Some A/C, but the weather has been historically mild for this time of the year. Some strong throttling in this tank, but I think that driving after work (warmed up engine) has helped this tank's mpg's

went 47 days since my last fill-up. 17 days in Asia and then on my back with sickness for another 4 days will make a tank last a long time. No additives on this tank and will go back to Amsoil Concentrate on next fill-up. Been trying to drive for max mpg during the whole tank.
