I always forget to jot down the beginning mileage so I can figure out how many total miles each road trip was .
The tankful I added Startron to and ran pretty close to wide open the whole way (80+ ~ 100+) , returned 23.7 MPGs and smoked a fair good bit .
On the way home I passed a gasolinera that said " biodiesel mix " and I keep hearing that bio diesel is good for cleaning out crud so I tanked up with it , added a quart of oil and used the cruise control mostly on the way home , it surges now and then and hunts for whatever speed it wants instead of locking in wherever I set it at , I chose 63 ~ 67 MPH and am keen to see what the end mileage from not speeding will be .
All in all it was a nice trip , the weather was weird , rainy some times , clear and cool @ 84° F others , almost always windy , some times a good 50 MPH blow shoving the car all over the road .
The stations sign said $2.17 credit and $2.12 ca$h , I used my credit card and was pleased to see the actual price was only $2.04 / gallon , plenty of places in Arizona are under $2 / gallon for branded diesel fuel .
