What is wrong with my computation?

Hee hee hee, . Actually, sometimes I wonder if my wife is putting gas *into* my tank to boost my fragile ego.

Been testing out the flash app for fuel log graphing, except things are backwards, not sure how to fix it but it looks good.

Can we project the total savings of Ecomodder to the USA "as if" everyone drove the way we do? It's far from a perfect corrollation because the "inventory" of our garage is different from the national inventory, but I think it's a good question to ask.

I think we could easily just use the percent over EPA for that sort of thing? We just need some reliable stats on national use

I just thought of another which may have already been considered:

Tonnes of CO2 saved/not emitted.

Disregard if duplicated.

Love the new stats. LOVE them!

I know this is not a stat issue but a fuel log issue:
I am stumping for ton-mpg because it is one way to have a relative, albeit limited, measure of efficiency. I will never get the Egg up to the 60's in mileage but I would like to be able to compare with other vehicles to see how far up I could still go. The simplest way would be ton-mpg.
EG: The heavily modded 1.77 ton egg can get about 33mpg on the highway. This equals 59 ton mpg. The more lightly modded one ton Vegan powah! gets 65.5 ton-mpg. So you see... I'm catching up to you... Muahahahaaa
Otherwise there is no way to easily get perspective on the numbers short of tracking down the data one bit at a time.

I second your "Tonnes of CO2 saved/not emitted". I was thinking about that today.
