| Post subject: | Milage Report |
Well, I am very happy after doing my first milage calculation. I haven't bothered before this point since I have such low miles on the clock, but the wife and I took a drive to PA today and when we returned I decided to do a calculation since I have exactly half a tank. We used approximately 1/4 tank on the trip which was about 70% back roads and 30% highway. Also on this tank was a lot of stop-and-go driving in Silver Spring, MD on the 13th..so I am even more impressed with these figures. These number are approximate since I am measuring with exactly half tank indicated. Fuel Used = 10.25 gal Miles Driven = 266 miles Tire Pressure = 38psi all around Fuel Type = BP Power-Blend Premium Diesel + 8oz Stanadyne Diesel Additive Approximate mpg = 25.95 City/Highway Driving = 60/40 Highway MPH = 65-70 Again this is approximate, and I will report again once I run it down and fuel up. This is when I will get a more exact number on the mpg. Considering I only have 3100 miles on her, I think this is excellent. |

Well, I ran er down to the idiot light came on. Stopped at BP and filled er up with fresh power-blend diesel and 8oz of Stanadyne. Unfortunately, it was late at night and I didn't have anything to write my calculations on, but I used the calculator on my cell phone to figure out milage for the entire tank. I came up with 25 mpg average for the tank. Not bad considering about 70/30 hwy/city. This included goosing it once in a while. I went 466 miles. |
