Car mileage update

Date June 20, 2008

Had a decent amount of driving again in the last couple weeks:

419.6 miles - 12.33 gallons to fill up (@ $3.929 - not over the $4 some of you are paying, but still painful!)

That’s 34.03 mpg for the last fill up.  I had some highway driving, which seems to really help kick it up past the 30-31 I typically get now.

I’ve written about this before, but it bears repeating some.  SLOW DOWN and you’ll get much better mileage.  2 summers ago I was getting 25 on average.  I now get 30 on average.  That’s a 20% improvement.

I’ve started keeping track of my mileage over at http://fuelfrog.com.  You might be able to see my mpg chart over at http://www.fuelfrog.com/users/mgkimsal/fuels/dashboard - not sure if you can see that if you’re not logged in to fuelfrog yourself.

    Seems fine

    … does FF allow you to annotate the graph? (so you can add notes to show/remind why changes occurred ) - or at least link to such notes - more useful than writing a blog posting the figures and then having to write a separate post to explain them

    No, at least not yet. I bet if you pinged @fuelfrog they’d take those ideas in to consideration. Or you could write your own version to do all that :)
