Fuel Economy Log - Week 6

June 4th, 2006 | by Brian Carr |

This past week, I drove 361.1 miles between fill ups, used 10.696 gallons and paid $2.90 per gallon, which equates to 33.76 mpg, the lowest my gas mileage has been since I started making a conscious effort to be a better driver.

This 33.76 mpg is 16.4% higher than what my car typically gets (29 mpg). By getting better gas mileage I saved $5.09, bringing my six week total up to $39.97.

This past week, the weather where I live has been unseasonably warm (mid-90’s) so I’ve had to use my air conditioning more that usual. Hopefully it’ll cool down a bit so I don’t have to use the AC as much, but in the meantime I’m willing to spend a little extra money to make sure I don’t sweat through my suits by the time I get to work!
