Consumption Vs. Temperature (Graphs)

[GasSavers_BEEF]

well, a few things.

They actually correlate fairly well (inversely anyway). if you were to rescale the first graph to a range of 8-13, it would probaby match up better.

there is another factor in there too depending on location and that is summer blend vs winter blend. I ran into this during one of my experiments with a WAI. right in the middle of the experiment, I gained like 4-5mpg on average. That really messed things up.

you also have the factor of driving tendancies and route. if you drove the same place all the time and never drove differently, then this wouldn't be a factor. We always go different places and react differently on a daily basis depending on traffic, road conditions, and weather. Within the past year or so I have done quite a few performance upgrades to one of my cars and the mileage has dropped due to that. I know it is my heavey foot doing it but it is still a factor.

if you had the raw (excel data) I could probably make them look almost identical just rescaling them. there will be some deviation and I can't really account for all those deviations but they are probably more similar than you think.
