Is it ok to remove anomaly tanks in your fuel log?
The past couple weeks I had a few bad tanks due to severe engine/transmission problems, including having to drive to school (~45min) with half the trip stuck in 2nd gear.
These tanks resulted in 19.50, 21.07, and 19.07 mph each for a tank of about 15-15.5 gallons.
I realize these aren't dramatic enough to be outliers (yeah I was a statistics nerd in HS), but they will have the following effect:
90-day will rise from 21.95 to 22.40 (a 2.04% increase)
Lifetime will rise from 22.00 to 22.07 (a 0.32% increase)
% above EPA will rise from 9.99% to 10.35% better than EPA.
Let me know what you all think. Personally I think it would be fair due to the other-than-normal driving circumstances. (I know people could bring up that this would be the same as denying a tank due to bad weather, but with an engine problem it's like driving a different car... does that make sense?)
Normally, I'd just go ahead and do it since it is MY fuel log, but I seem to remember controversy rising when another member tried to do this, so I figured I'd check...
