Experiment for VXers

[R.I.D.E.]

Based on your two mileage reports in this thread, the only information you divulged until you decided to reveal some more.

Of course the some more made my average much better than 15%.

Im playing you like a fiddle son.

reciepts from 4-26-08 to 5-19-08

4-26 396 miles 6.396 gallons@$3.399=61.9 MPG
4-28 260 miles 5.173 " @$3.299=50.3 MPG
5-03 414 miles 7.412 " @$3.379=55.9 MPG
5-09 365 miles 6.023 " @$3.369=60.6 MPG
5-13 265 miles 4.823 " @$3.509=54.9 MPG
5-19 348 miles 6.094 " @$3.599=57.1 MPG
-----------------------------------------------------
2048miles 35.951=56.966426

Close enough to 57

Easily transferrable to a gas log sometime soon.

Doesn't include my best 304 on 4.627.

Then it would be;

2352 on 40.177 = 58.54 closer to your calculation.

I'll take the 57 and its still improving on a daily basis.

$138.68 for 2,352 miles 5.896 cents a mile

And yours?

Not just two 100 mile trips filling up at two different stations.

Now that I've asked the question half-a-dozen times, you've decided to finally provide an answer. But your answer only deepens the mystery.

Let's see if I'm understanding you correctly. Early in this thread (http://www.gassavers.org/showpost.ph...3&postcount=7), I mentioned two fills: 55.8 mpg and 51.2 mpg. You decided that was enough information for you to make this claim:

Let's put aside the fact that I was only mentioning two fills, not any kind of an overall average. You've claimed that your overall mileage is 58.5. If your mileage is 15% higher than mine, than my mileage must be 50.9, because 58.5 is 15% higher than 50.9.

In other words, you have concluded that my average mileage is 50.9. And you claim that you did this "based on [my] two mileage reports in this thread." Those two reports were 55.8 mpg and 51.2 mpg.

I'm interested in understanding the math you used to derive an average of 50.9 from the numbers 55.8 and 51.2.
