It would be really good to find out what the car will do if you were to top off the tank( so full that you can actually see the gas in the filler neck just sitting there motionless),get directly up to a constant highway speed,and then just hold it at that speed long enough to get an mpg reading.
Later on,these kinds of numbers are exactly what you may use to calculate your progress.
Mixed-driving mpg figures may make it virtually impossible to reduce your data to a meaningfull level.The only variable you can have is the shape of the car!
