Good work.

But I want to point out that the tire itself has a major effect on the fuel numbers, so in addition to the tire size and weight, you should also add the make and model of the tire to the results to remind people that that is also important.

Oh, and I think it might add to "completeness" if you added that fact that there were different states of wear.
