I just thought of another which may have already been considered:

Tonnes of CO2 saved/not emitted.

Disregard if duplicated.

Love the new stats. LOVE them!

I know this is not a stat issue but a fuel log issue:
I am stumping for ton-mpg because it is one way to have a relative, albeit limited, measure of efficiency. I will never get the Egg up to the 60's in mileage but I would like to be able to compare with other vehicles to see how far up I could still go. The simplest way would be ton-mpg.
EG: The heavily modded 1.77 ton egg can get about 33mpg on the highway. This equals 59 ton mpg. The more lightly modded one ton Vegan powah! gets 65.5 ton-mpg. So you see... I'm catching up to you... Muahahahaaa
Otherwise there is no way to easily get perspective on the numbers short of tracking down the data one bit at a time.
