I commend your commitment, but a 4 mile round trip commute is a *very* good thing. A vacuum gauge may help.

If I were you, I'd try different routes for each tank, and see which one wins. A route that has a short steep uphill followed by a long gentle downhill is best for me because I don't pick up speed when I'm in neutral.

You can total your motorcycle and car miles and gallons to generate a "combined MPG". If you have a Garage entry for each one, you can use the new totals data to quickly compute your "total" vehicle MPG. For example :

Code:
CAR A : 
- Total gallons used: 5
- Total miles traveled: 100
MOTORCYCLE B : 
- Total gallons used: 1
- Total miles traveled: 60

Calculation on your own :
(100 + 60) / (5  + 1) = 26.67 Combined MPG
