Made it to DC!
I made the first of many weekly trips from New Paltz, NY to Washington, D.C. as I have started my new government job (woo hoo!)
The best part is that the 300SD is getting great mileage. The last two tanks have averaged over 27MPG! That is the best I have seen in a year as the MPG dropped as soon as the introduced ULSD from about 26-27 to 24-25. I will be filling up before heading back to NY on Friday. I will post the next MPG reading when I do so. The only difference is that I adjusted the valves before heading down. 9 out of 10 were tight. Could that cause a 3MPG drop? If so I suggest that everybody do a valve adjustment. getting the 3MPG savings will pay for the adjustment in a short time! Cheers, Joe
