This is why I keep posting that the problem isn't the method so much as it's the metric.
MPG is nowhere near total consumption. It is, however, an easily understood metric by non experts. If we want to consider total consumption - the site would need to change to a more appropriate metric which, I feel, would alienate potential newcomers.
I understand that if we wanted
total consumption, we need well to wheels - but well to wheels is a bit off topic based on the OP (but a good topic either way)

Shows I'm not a motorcyclist
But I think the point is taken
