Is this over ~2.5 years? I think I see a periodicity. Might be clearer if you added moving average over 8 or 10 data points. If I am right, the trend itself may be spurious, showing up only because you started driving in one of low-mpg periods (winters?) and now you are in summer high-mpg period. |

You'll get better mileage if you slow down to 60 and take a nap. |

I slow down to 60 on that stretch of highway and I am going to have a truck go right over me! And where did I say I didn't already nap?

Gas Mileage
I usually get over 320 miles a tank ( corrected from gallon )depending on my driving. Spirited driving will never get great gas milage. Driving Ms. Daisy slow cruising will get you better gas mileage.

But that doesn't really tell us anything, since there's a 2.4 gallon reserve. If he runs the tank down close to empty, that's 25.6 MPG. If he stops immediately once the light comes on, that's 31.7 MPG. Saying "I get X mileage per tank" is almost as meaningless as comparing insurance rates. |

...and it seems many folks never learned how to calculate miles-per-gallon. |

I calculate miles-per-gallon at every fill-up. It generally reads about 1 mpg higher than actual. My indicated MPG ranges from 31.5-34.5. Calculated is 30-33.5 |
