SUGGESTION: Fuelly Website / MPG posting
The Fuelly website reports my MPG to be 46.2, which averages the data collected from 56 fillups.
During those 39 months, I have learned much and have refined my Hypermiling skills that my recent 4 fillups have been 51.62, 50.05, 51.46, and 51.33 MPG.
Would you say my MPG is 46.2 over 56 fillups or the more recent 50+ over 5 fillups?
When someone asks me, "What's your MPG?" I don't say, "46.2 over the past 56 fillups." I say, "I get about 51+ MPG." then watch their jaw drop.
Posting the MPG average of the last 5 fillups encourages better and better MPG behavior. It allows all the learning mistakes of earlier Fuelly membership to fall off the record as one develops better and better MPG driving techniques.
Thoughts?
