I'm back from freezing Iowa

I've been running my TST at 8/5 for the last tank useing the old PS MMO mix gragging ricers and hot heads all over atlanta leaving them in massive clouds of black death. . .and the occasional smoke show at work. anyhoo, after all that I thought my mileage would be in the toilet. . .boy was I wrong. . . .I filled up yesterday and hand calculated 17.8mpg:D

I bet your glad to be back home and I bet your wife was very gald your home but was the dog Jealous when you kicked him out of the bedroom :eek:

At 50 degrees I would of been looking for the nearest swiming pool to go swiming in;) When we hit mid 20 on Saturday and when I was working outside I could only wear a windbreaker due to it being so warm. We have been up to 40 the past 2 days and they say more of this heat the rest of the week https://dodgeforum.com/image/s1.gif At lease we can still make snow angles up here and you can't[8D]

You can keep your snow angles, I haven't shoveled snow in more than 10 years. IF it snows here we look at it, and tomorrow it's gone. No need to shovel or plow!!!!

Welcome back Drew!

You know these past few weeks I've been in Champaign ,Il (about 4 hrs from my Iowa home) for work and have been staying in hotels during all of this weather. I have been running the statadyne mix with good results but the last couple weeks the temps with the wind factored in were running about -20 with a low recorded at -34.

I noted the motor was a bit hesitant to kick off those morns as I couldnt plug in. It would fire 3 times in a row but it wouldnt stick. Of course this was a bit nerve racking but she always came around on the 3rd or 4th try.

Becouse of this at the next fill up (never went below 1/2 tank) I put about 4-6 oz of the PS 911. The next morn I went out (again -20 to -30) and she fired right up without hesitation.

The weather finally broke here as well but I think I'll continue this practice when the weather calls for these extreme temps as it made an immediate impact on the cold weather starts.

We had ours down to -2 here in bushland Texas no record but cold, as well as -26 in the mountains of new mexico started with no problems the high idle came in handyFor some reason mine runs better in cool than hot maybe its just me i don't like hot by the way i don't plug it in it doesnt have the plug need to get it though.
