Finding Errors In Data - How To?

My problem is the most recent MPG estimate is jacked - likely due to incorrect total mileage (I run off the ODO.)

I have been over the numbers and they seem accurate. Any ideas why this happened or where to start looking to correct the error? I'm about ready to delete the entry and enter "missed fuel up" the next time around.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

Fuel up 43 and 44, have you mixed up the miles/gallons? If you add the total miles for these two fuel ups, and the total gallons too, then divide it by two, the stats seem more in line with your other fuel ups.

By that I mean 50 miles on 1.82 gallons, and 240 miles on 6.32 gallons is more realistic?

That's what it looks like to me, Let me see if I can remove those entries from your calculations until you can figure it out.

I agree, it looks like the gallons for those two fillups are reversed. If you get it figured out, I can re-add those fillups to your mileage calculations. Right now I have the system ignore them for calculations.
