Continuing Mileage Stats Before Installation

Last week I was not able to get a receipt for the gas (too long of a tale to tell) and felt that me just saying the numbers would not be fair. So I'm just going to let that go by the wayside and move on.

So, no image of the gas gauge this time (since it would prove nothing at all), but as you can see I drove 77 miles almost exactly. Actually, the gauge was in the middle of a roll up to 77.1, but I think that we can let that go. Strangely, last week's mileage numbers were very close to this, and I am seeing that my family does drive to certain locations quite consistently. Who knew? Perhaps there will be other unexpected discoveries in this process.

As you can see I put in 3.64 gallons. It was cool day (as usual around here right now) and I did achieve slightly better mileage of 21.15 mpg. This was once again all city driving.

My Mileage Stats Before Installation

As promised I'm including for everyone's inspection the kind of mileage I've been getting before installing the device on my car. I figured that the best and most transparent way to do this would be to include copies of the receipts themselves along with a photo of my gas gauge.





Now to be a fair, and as aboveboard as I know how to be, I want to let everyone know that I am an accomplished Graphic Designer and an expert user of Photoshop. Meaning that if I wanted to I could fake any of the the documents I've included - so the fact is that they prove absolutely nothing. However, I am giving everyone my word that I have not altered these images in any way, nor will I do so (without revealing the truth) in the future. Now, with that out of the way it looks as if my ol' Honda is getting 20.64 miles per gallon. The car is being driven by myself and my wife in normal stop-and-go city traffic. We've taken no trips on the highway. The weather has been cool to cold, and in the last couple of days it has been rainy. If the weather gets just a little nicer by next weekend I'll be installing the Water4Gas device. If not I'll post my mileage without it again next week. That's it for now.
