With regard to listing top vehicles, I agree with many posters here that the 90 day measurement is better than lifetime. What might be better still is to select certain tanks to measure the vehicle's potential rather than it's actual performance (which might be low due to poor weather or loaning it to your neighbor). In other words, I think a vehicle that has recently recorded a 75MPG tank should have us focus on that tank rather than the average of 75MPG and 45MPG because of a failed P&G experiment. The USGA takes your 10 best rounds out of your last 20 to consider your playing ability -- tournament scores are factored in too, but the details are not as important here as the concept. So what about taking the best 3 of the last 6 tanks requiring one to have been registered within the last 90 days?
