Hi Paul,

No nothing else was changed. I'm a avid fuel mileage nut, always have been as that one thing I can "help" control my costs. I've always spent the break in period on new vehicles testing for best fuel mileage for that vehicle thus changing my driving style to match that vehicle. For 36k miles we haven't varried much, 1 to 2mpg depending how much we use AC, so were very consistant in our driving habbits.

I disagree that fuel economy is hard to gauge. I just finished a excel spread sheet where I track, single,3,5 and 10 tank averages, trip mileage and life time fuel mileage. Tank averaging is alot closer to true fuel mileage over time.

Back in March or so when everyone was talking about adding acetone to fuel to increase mileage by 20%, sure I tried it as it cost very little to see the results. Results, no increase in fuel mileage, in fact a little loss.
