Almost hit a dog!!!!

That's right!! I almost hit a dog at 70mph on the interstate. The car swerved and handled it with ease. I am loving this car more and more each day.

Now for the fill up update..

Last fill up was at 1281 miles
This fill up was at 1504 miles
I  drove 223 miles
I got 6.478 gallons

That averages 34.42 mpg. Not sure why it went down. Could be temps or something. I'll keep monitoring it.

So far so good...

A new week and still going strong.

I filled up today.

Last fill up was at 926 miles
This fill up was at 1281 miles
I  drove 355 miles
I got 9.581 gallons

That averages 37.05 mpg. Looks like it is going up.

So far I have been very impressed with this car. I am going to keep this blog going. I think I am going to change to filling up each morning to get a better idea of MPG for each day.

Fillup Update

Ok.. I have noticed that due to cold temps. I am not getting the 40MPG I was getting before. On my way home, it was 53 degrees F. I was getting 40MPG.

Here are the statistics so far:

I had to get more gas today. Which is going against my initial calculations. Oh well, my tank is only 12.8gals.
Going to work temps: 33 degrees F
Coming home temps: 53 degrees F
Last fill up was at 587 miles
This fill up was at 926 miles
Miles driven:  339
I put in 9.764 gallons

So, my average MPG is 34.72. It's going up some.

Side note: I have been using Gasoline with "Up to 10% Ethanol" Next month I am going to go straight gasoline. See if my MPG goes up more.

The Drive:

So far I have not run into any traffic. The drive is quiet and uneventful. I am really enjoying my SiriusXM Sat Radio. I have found a couple of dead spots for cell coverage. I am loving this car. It is very comfortable. I am not a small person. I am rather large. Everyone at my new job thinks I am crazy for driving these miles. I told them that I am crazy. The Crazy Road Warrior!!!

First Real Day

Well, today was my first real day of working. The drive was really good. I didn't get the MPG as I did my first drive up, but that might have been due to the temps.So, I am going to record my temps to work and temps drive home.

Last fill up was at 277 miles
This fill up was at 587 miles
I put in 9.055 gallons.
So, that makes it an average of 34.24 MPG. Not bad considering some of the miles was city driving.

I hit 40MPG!!!

Today was my first day at my new job. I drove about 229 miles.  I drove 2 different routes going to work. I found the perfect route. It is 4 lanes there and back. Besides going through town hitting red lights. 90% of the drive has 0 stop lights. Part of it is 60 mph and then the interstate is 70 mph. Made great time. But the best part is my MPG.

As I start driving it more and more each day, I will keep track of my fuel usage. I will do it the old fashion way to make sure the computer is accurate.

The car is very comfortable to drive and a lot of fun.
