What's your fuel economy to weight ratio?
JanGeo just posted an inspired question in response to my 100+ segment:
He asked how many MPG per pound it worked out to.
What a great question. Speed performance enthusiasts love to talk power to weight ratios. So why wouldn't efficiency performance enthusiasts compare MPG to weight ratios? (Aside from the fact that one ratio is a set of fixed numbers and the second ratio isn't, necessarily...)
FYI, my 3 month (3 tank) average is currently 59.3 (US). The car weighs 1830 lbs.
Edit: instead of the original suggestion of mpg/weight we're going with this formula...
vehicle weight (lbs) * MPG / 1000
... to get "pound miles per gallon (/1000)"
1800# * 59.3 / 1000 = 108.519 for the Blackfly
What's yours?
