Logging accurate mpg on Chevy Volt

My issue concerns my fuel-ups for my Chevy Volt. I understand that fuel-up entries that yield over 199 mpg are usually indicative of possible entry errors. As the Volt is able to travel from 35-40 miles on an electric charge, it is foreseeable that the car can go for thousands of miles on a single tank of gasoline (as my car has done) depending on whether the trips made are less than its electric capacity and how often the car is being charged. My entries have been limited to roughly 1500 miles on a tank of gas when in fact, my first tank delivered 5079 miles for 7.25 gallons of fuel. The second tankful was 7.009 gallons and delivered 6671 miles. Fuelly is doing this car a great disservice in that it is grossly misrepresented in its capabilities to drastically reduce fuel consumption and consumer cost. I would like to request that an exception be made in the case of the Chevy Volt so that users here may see for themselves what a benefit this car that can drive all electric for up to 40 miles offers. Thanks for you attention.
