Accidentally found a station with Diesel this afternoon, so I figured I'd top up and run the fuel economy numbers.

They seem like a definite improvement. 135 miles on 5.68 gallons. My math puts this at 23.77mpg, all stop/go "city" traffic and hilly back-roads. Keep in mind I've been romping pretty hard on the accelerator monitoring for smoke and undesirable behavior.

Considering I've seen the fuel consumption down at 16mpg with city driving, that is a HUGE improvement! Since I did some IP adjustments yesterday, the car seems to have WAY more power. Usage of the accelerator is much reduced as a result. I'll keep an eye on the fuel consumption and drive like a normal person and see where it levels out.
