I proudly entered my first fuel log of 27+ MPG (all city driving) today. Cruelly, my result was shown in red even though I bested the EPA's rating of 25 MPG for the city. My result was compared against the 30 MPG combined EPA. Searching previous threads led to the discovery that you can enter your own EPA numbers. Armed with this knowledge, I set up my car twice, once with the city EPA and once with the highway EPA rating. Now I'm in the green!

Since my car has a trip odometer/trip fuel usage gauge, it is easy for me to separate city miles and highway miles.

I think a nicer general solution would be the ability to enter the (estimated) percent city and percent highway miles in a fuel log, with the percent above (or below) EPA following from this additional information. Then, everybody can use the same city and highway EPA numbers for their particular make and model and we can compare Granny Smiths to Granny Smiths.

Also, it would be nice if you could mark driving techniques used, DWB, EOC, etc, when entering a fuel log. That way if I see someone with a stock auto similar to mine with significantly higher MPG, I can see why.

I apologize if this suggestion has been brought up (and beat down) before.
