Car mileage update
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
