www.fueleconomy.gov

For a solid baseline, on Jan 01, 2008, I began tracking my mileage on www.fueleconomy.gov

Here is what I see so far:





As is evidenced, my truck has seen a high of about 24 MPG on this chart. My best so far has been 26 MPG. With at least 80 percent City Driving, I average at 18, which gives me a 12.5% gain over the statistical average.

If we all used it, then it would give an interesting comparison of driving habits, fuel type, different fuel mixes by State, and mods.

Sounds like a good idea...

Since I've got my SG I can get numbers too... Luckily, I'm still on my first tank of the year... so I'll go register up now.

Hey guys, I'm about to join BOTH of your clubs. I just registered at fueleconomy.gov today and I got paid today, so tomorrow I'm going to drop $300 into my debit account and buy my SG II online!
