Site error on stats

A month or two ago there was a site error that made all of the all-time stats go to zero. I can't find the actual thread now. The mods mentioned that when stats were recalculated after a fuel up or...

This is Draigflaig, he's our most tactful member on the whole board. Look for this same post on pretty much every introductory member post. "Your car gets HOW BAD OF GAS MILEAGE???"

A corresponding dollars per month mini stat would be nice too.

100% agreed. It has gotten more than a little silly. Instead I just use the text messages to fill up... No silly form to fill out there.

No, ethanol content wouldn't have anything to do with the accuracy of the fuel flow calculation.

I've never been able to get the reminders to do anything, and have tried several times, as recently as a few months ago.

Not at this time. You would also have to measure only part of one fuel-up unless you filled up exactly 2500 miles ago. Fuelly won't do that sort of calculation for you.

It's because you did not fill the tank to the same level on each consecutive fillup. Even if the dash were exactly 100.00% accurate, it would never match your calculation exactly because of the...

I suppose if everyone around me were driving British cars, I would find regular state-administered vehicle inspections perfectly reasonable.

Drive 55 instead of 70 and you will hit 40mpg easy peasy. There is more than 2mpg to be gained by driving slower.

Lowering for fuel economy

I have found in practice that instant MPG displays are next to useless. The only time they give you any useful data is on flat ground at perfectly constant speed (i.e. with cruise control on). Any...
