these are just thoughts.

I wondered about blended fuel as well, but one of the best tanks of the trip was after a fillup in Syracuse, NY
.I think if it were blended anywhere it would be there. I was looking for pumps listed as blended fuel, but didn't see much. One pump in PA showed a cetane rating of 40 and then had an undyed K-1 pump right next to it, so I guess it was a blend-your-own spot.
I ran 35 psi all around in the tires.
I have also had a much rougher cold idle since putting in the new injectors. It acts like an air leak, but I replaced the return lines with the injectors and don't see any leaks.
Priority now is to get all the road salt off the car. I cringe everytime I take one of my old southern cars up there.
