Fluff post!
Jun. 18th, 2008 08:37 amFluff post 'cause I feel pretty good today! Whee!
With the craziness on Monday, I forgot to mention that my ScanGauge showed up on Monday. I've been using it yesterday and today. Now, I've been averaging about 36.6, more or less MPG. I programmed the ScanGauge with my car's engine size and fuel tank size and am keeping an eye on it while driving. Using it, I've managed a 42mpg trip home from Antioch yesterday, and a 39mpg trip to work this morning. I know that it isn't going to super accurate until it has a chance to go through a couple of tanks of fuel and calibrate, but I'm hoping that it's at least close. 'Cause I'd be pretty excited about 42! Now that I have a really sharp picture of what kind of driving maximized fuel economy and what kind of driving drops it like a rock, I may try a couple other routes to work and make notes on what works the best.
Of course, after a couple of months of no such activity, a cat threw up on the carpet overnight. But I got it all cleaned up, so that's good. I also took all of our garbage outside last night. Oh wow, that was not fun. Lids had been left off a couple of the cans and I had garbage soup to deal with. Ick. But I took care of it all and have another thing to feel good about.
Moira and I are going to spend a bunch of Saturday with
rileybear67, and I'm looking forward to that. And tomorrow, I'm going to stop in at
posicat's place 'cause I haven't seen him in a while and I want to catch up.
I have more good stuff going on, but it would take time to explain. I'm going to try and do that later. What kind of good stuff is going on in your life?
