couple thoughts.

I think the top 10 list is handy for instilling friendly competition, but focusing on the lifespan of the car discourages experimentation/utility.

most folks worry about cost, but there isn't anything for it. I think rather an average payload field (in lbs, including driver) would be more informative, but hard to implement, perhaps another top 10 for those who put some effort into tracking it. Not too hard to imagine some pads that you park on in the garage or some other ramp/spring based dealybob.

but a top 10 based on last 90 days should encourage competition and not punish experiments gone wrong for eternity. A 90 day mpg in the garage would be useful to for sorting (i.e. ?sortby=mpg90 )
