Fuel Experiment: Half Tank Rule
Giving the Half Tank Rule a shot, I filled up last night when I was just under half a talk, sticking with Shell regular. By the way, what’s the deal with gas prices? They’re going up again! I just paid $2.93 per gallon, where a month ago I was paying $2.59! Anyway I did the math, and I’ve got my mileage up to nearly 13.3mpg now. Great news! I shall keep employing my tactics and continue to add new ones.
On a related note, I’m going to look into getting an electric choke for my carburetor to replace the heat choke that is not operating as it should. I did a little bit of research, and it looks like that will probably cost me about $50 to do. In the long run, I’m still looking to upgrade to a 4bbl carb, probably an Edelbrock, with a new intake manifold.
