Working on top ten lists: what do YOU want?

[PaleMelanesian]

Lifetime mpg, that makes sense. I'm fine with it either way, but since the signature banners use 90 day, that might be more consistent.

Also, not sure if there are any qualifications to be on this list but is there a way to make sure all of the cars on the Top 10 are "active" and not retired or "have not updated their fuel logs in over 6, 8, 12 months?"

As a carrot for myself, I've been tracking Top 40 cars on the site every time I update my fuel log and some of the cars with higher mpg on the list have been inactive for quite some time.

I think that problem will be solved if it's set within the ninety days

I actually like 90 day as a stagnant meter for the top 10 list. It would update the board a little more and offer encouragement to those of use who live in the cold winters vs. those who drive in warm weather most of the year (tough to get your lifetime as high as others when you lose mpg's in the winter). Or, we can really put the screws to SVO and request another sort function (lifetime and 90 day)!!!!!!!! All in good fun SVO!

#5 on the list on the left...2004 Prius (Cold Fusion) has not updated his fuel log since July of 2008.

Yes, autoupdating

It's not set as that yet

All concerns posted shall be addressed when I get a few minutes to work on it

How about a list for the truck drivers. It would be good to encourage them with some rivalry. Also promote the 'do your best with what you got' attitude we have here at EM.

I think % over epa would at least partly address that.
