Filled up today:

247.4 miles
Some trailer with the air conditioning running
16.363 gallons Shell87
15.1195 MPG
1.4121 increase in MPG since last of highway driving

These numbers were generated in town while pulling the trailer for the landscaping business. While an improvement over the previous set of numbers the cause of their improvement in light of the failed O2 sensor and while running the air conditioner for the first time this year is a mystery. I am wondering...

MPG Numbers 6-14-2009

Posted 06-24-2009 at 11:36 PM by Highwaylizard

Filled up today:

181.5 miles all city driving
All trailer
13.241 gallons Shell87
13.7074 MPG
2.1806 decrease in MPG since last of in town with trailer driving

The numbers also seem to have taken a hit from the failed O2 sensor on the passenger exhaust manifold. Interestingly the mileage...

15.8881 MPG
1.3400 increase in MPG since last of in town trailer driving

These numbers are excellent considering that at least half of the miles were generated pulling the trailer. Even so, since I am behind in writing these posts I noticed that in the next set of mileage numbers my passenger side oxygen sensor on the passenger exhaust manifold failed. I am wondering if there is a correlation...

Filled up today:

328.8 miles all city driving
Mostly trailer
22.601 gallons Shell87
14.5480 MPG
.3198 decrease in MPG since last of highway driving

Not much of anything remarkable here beyond the fact that I used to get around 12 miles to the gallon when pulling a trailer and now I am conistently getting in the fourteens. The new gears along with the other modifications I have done really have made a difference. I am looking forward to the next couple of modifications as...
