Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

Aloha: providing results in absolute "mpg" terms is potentially a problem - it requires the baseline mpg to be presented with it to give proper context.

EG: an 8 mpg improvement on a 20 mpg truck is a vastly bigger change (in terms of volume / $ savings) than an 8 mpg improvement on a 55 mpg subcompact.
