Partial fill for 5% cashback on Discover. One slightly heavy traffic day, otherwise very smooth sailing. A little more city traffic than usual, as per the usual, getting stuck at every friggin' light.

One REALLY bad traffic day; not sure what was going on. Stuck in stop and go in first gear for at least 30 minutes. Another bad traffic day on I-85; definitely took a hit in the mileage department, especially since the last one was an overfill.

One bad traffic day, one with every friggin' red light to catch me. No passenger. The last fill up I think was a little underfilled, and will reflect lower MPG's on this fillup, as this one I slightly overfilled to compensate.

A lot of city driving to the research campus over the past 1.5 months. One EXTREMELY heavy traffic day, very hot, with stop and go and at least 30 minutes of dead stop idling due to concert. Some tucking and minor coasting hypermiling techniques.

No passenger, windy a lot of days. Not cold, but a little cool. No real rain. Only a little bad traffic, no jams. Moderate tucking; probably 50% of time at 65+ MPH, which I'm sure reduced mileage a bit from the normal 55 MPH runs. Also removed baffle in exhaust.

Windy, cold, carried passenger twice to UNCC. No fuel injector cleaner, lots of weight. I believe a slight underfill because of last time's overfill, so mileage is probably slightly worse than reported. Chain needs to be cleaned and oiled as well. Not much interstate due to bad traffic. Two bad traffic stop and go days.

Only half of the days I carried my bookbag, so a little less weight and less wind resistance. Some interstate days, but not that many. Some warmer days. After B12 from last fillup, all new oil and filter on this tank, and newly lubed chain about halfway through the tank. Carried passenger only once.

Cold most mornings, below 35 degrees. Usually chilly in the afternoons, below 50 degrees. Two REALLY bad traffic days, sitting in gridlock for 30 minutes at least. No tucking, some shutting off at stop lights. New oil change this time with new filter and Shell Rotella T5 10w-30, so next fillup should reflect any benefits from the fresh oil. Carried passenger once. Last fillup I believe was a little short, so this should be corrected in the next tank.

Riding two-up once (~9 miles). Tucked above 45 about 50% of the time. REALLY bad traffic on campus. Sitting idle and stop and go for over 30 minutes. I think the incline the bike was on before did not give a full fill up, and also this time I believe it was even further inclined to the left, making the tank fill before it was completely full.
