I did not do the procedure 50 times, I only did it once.
I just started and shut down 50 times within 200 miles after doing it.
I am still getting close to 20 mpg. 65 miles on a quarter tank.
I always count my gallons from the top of the tank, Fill up. Drive,
on refill I divide the miles by the gallons.
I keep my tank full.
Jgorm, I'm not here to waste my time arguing. This is what I did, and here are the results.
waterdog, I ran the gallons from the top of the tank, yes.
shadydc, I calculated my mileage after,
<filling up, driving 100 miles, then filling up again.>
I am not telling everybody to do this to their jeep. I merely tried the thread I read and gained a few mpg since I have done it.
You guys are all grown adults and have the free will to do whatever the heck you like.
I don't feel bashed, I don't mind clearing up any points I was unclear on.
I am only doing my blogging part and spreading the good news.
I had positive results on the thread I read about resetting the adaptive memory.
The results were clear to me.
I did it one time,
I drove my jeep for 200 miles, making sure I had 50 starts in there somewhere, and made sure that the temp guage read at least to the first hash mark when I drove it.
My day is this,
take one kid to school across town. come home, shut down.
20 min later, start up, drop the other one off 1 mile away. come home, shut down.
Start up, drive a mile, go to youngests school, shut down for a while, wait. Start up.
Drive across town to pick up the oldest and go home, shut down.
Start up later at night, go to work. 10 miles highway, shut down.
Start up, go home, 10 miles highway, shut down.
Repeat.
So I easily got 50 starts within 200 miles.
I did not repeat the whole 1-7 50 times, only #7. My bad on the wording.
I hope anyone else who decides to try this has great results.
