Default Gas Milage Chart

I just thought i would post my gas mileage charts I updated tonight. Prices reflect mostly the Cincinnati Area. All units 'American'. Sorry there nothing TOO exciting but i figured this is worth at least for sharing data. Yes, my gas mileage sucks.. im doing a tuneup soon in desperate hopes to improve it.

Looks pretty good for city driving. Brutal truth about having modded the car in my case is .. gas mileage disappears each time you smile.

That'* about the same MPG I get.
Very interesting charts. Wouldn't mind doing something like that myself...except I don't think I wan to track the fuel costs.

I keep an Excel spreadsheet of MPG myself. I know it'* not a Bonneville guys, but here'* some comparison, Honda 1.5L. The gray boxes contain formulas that calculate everything as I enter the # of litres and # of km travelled. I don't let my tank run lower than 1/4, so the km you see is NOT indicative of total range on a full tank.



It'* pretty silly how much crappy mileage I was getting early in the year, most likely due to inclement cold Canadian weather. The lowest 22.8mpg number is after sitting in traffic for almost 3 hours in a snowstorm.

I REALLY REALLY do not understand the two most recent tanks, either.
