Fuel Economy Log - Week 7
June 10th, 2006 | by Brian Carr |This past week I drove 374.1 miles between fill ups, used 11.648 gallons and paid $3.04 per gallon, which equates to 32.12. For the second week in a row I have achieved the lowest gas mileage since I started making a conscious effort to get the best fuel economy possible.
That being said, the 32.12 miles per gallon is an 11% increase over my car’s average gas mileage, which is a savings of roughly $3.90, bringing my seven week savings up to $43.87. All things considered, that’s not too shabby.
The reason why my fuel economy was so much lower this week is because I did a lot of driving with the windows down (the weather was nice) and there were two instances when I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for more than a half an hour.
Either way, I’ll still take the savings!
