Sorry!
Yes, it hurt to clean up the results (kicked myself out of Team Metro because I haven't filled up the Flea in ages).

Real data is always better than false data, no matter which team you're on. 
Of course, I really should log that time I went 3 1/2 million miles on 8oz of gas...

Filled up this morning (biggest fill up, but the engine never went to high rev during idle  ) : - 2041.7km with 61.68L = 3.021L/100
- 1268.9mi with 16.30gal = 77.85mpgUS
- CO2 @ 80.4g/km / 2.85lbs/mi
- saved : 102.31€ / 147.67$
- NEDC : -54.9%(L/100) / +121.8%(mpgUS)
Success : - 2041.7km=1268.9mi is over 1182.5mi (PB), 2000km, 2006km, 1266.6mi & 2040.1km (to be at less than 1000km to 3040.1km)
- 77.85mpgUS is over 74.918mpgUS (PB)
- Lifetime MPG is over 60 : 60.239
Failure : - 3.021L/100 is over 3.00 (77.85mpgUS / 78.4) by 0.7%
Anyway, I never had so much fun behind the wheel 
Denis.

Nice, Groar .
Team Honda is kicking Team VWs' butt. Anyone else see PaleMelanesian's latest entry?  |

Everything went right for this tank. No school, hot weather, no rain, no out-of-ordinary trips. It took 5 years of practice to get here. It took patience, too: 7-1/2 weeks to finish that one tank.

Holy cow! Yesterday you were number two and today number one again. Running just two-three tanks per 90-day period really makes 90-day averages vulnerable to new data, eh? Congrats! A 91 mpg tank is a real shocker. I can't meet that game.

It sure does. I started a new tank the day school let out. Then there was this tank, which ran a week into the new school year. That was my summer.
While it's a challenge to keep the numbers up for so long, it means I'm not using much gas. I've spent $279 total this year. (on this car. The other one?  )

Did you happen to note your average speed for the tank? Context is good. Not minimizing your achievement.
My best 104 mpg fill-up in the Firefly was at ~20 mph average, per the SG (which is not a "rolling average" speed - it includes time stopped, up to 5 minutes).
