27.7 MPG

357.0 mi, 12.892 gal @ $4.259 = 27.7 MPG

159,208 total miles. As expected, this MPG is lower than average, because the previous fill-up was not complete. Chevron on Hamilton at N Central Street.

32.3 MPG

371.0 mi, 11.480 gal @ $4.159 = 32.3 MPG

158,851 total miles.

My wife did this fill up and I don't think she topped off like I usually do after the pump clicked off. I always try it once more after it clicks off. So this MPG seems high to me and the next one will probably be low. Chevron on Bascom at Hamilton.

Added brake fluid.

158,708 total miles.

Added 11oz Prestone AS400 DOT 3 Synthetic Brake Fluid, $2.70 at Amazon

It's been about 9 months since the last low brake fluid alert. I accidentally "over filled" the reserve tank but there is an overflow hose if it causes any issues. Next time I will probably just dump the whole bottle in and not worry about exceeding the MAX level. At this point I believe there is a crack somewhere in the plastic brake fluid reservoir, but replacing that is certainly going to cost more than adding a $3 bottle of fluid once a year.
