I am one of the ones who submitted a sheet to you. Your traffic type box asks average speed of "your commute" Problem is I don't commute - I am retired. You should have a no commute option.

That is left up to interpretation. The point being, the average speed of traffic which you spend most of your time driving in. For most people, that's the commute.

I have to include it, even for retirees, because that is one of the methods of classifying fuel economy... I will have fuel averages for all three different speeds for comparison.

We filled up for the first time yesterday.

11 gallons.29 mpg.

I expected better. I would get 31mpg in my 318ti-M BMW going the same speed.I average 80-85mph on my 50 mile commute.

But the engine is still new. let's see what happens

If this is fuel data and you've already received a sheet, please email it to me using my user name as a link to get my profile.

If you need to get a sheet, email me.

If you've been tracking your own stuff, sadly, I would need you to start from scratch after getting a sheet, for scientific reasons.

OK... no new submissions in the last week...

I just want to state something really quickly here... I always reply when a fuel sheet is turned in. If you have turned in a fuel sheet and I have not responded with a thank you, please post here in this thread... it means Comcast's spam filter killed your message and I never received it.

Post here and I will email you first, then you can reply to it with the finished sheet.

One more completed sheet has been submitted, and 3 new, fresh ones have been sent out. I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 28 outstanding sheets now. Has anyone else completed?

sorry EV, I am one of those 28. Life has been a little crazy lately and haven't really been tracking the miles or tanks that I put in. Hopefully this next one I will be able to do.

Remember, they have to be five consecutive tanks. Keep the sheet in your car... it will help.
