14 Fill-ups ... for all of 2011

I was checking the gaslog for my car when I noticed that I was filling up only a little over once a month for the past year. This is due to 3 factors: 1) I'm driving my car ( 2000 Jaguar S type 3L V6 with 5sp AT) more efficiently ( 28 mpg+ average), 2) I 'm driving my car less total miles and 3) I'm using other more efficient means of transportation ( more motorcycling and bicycling with some public transportation ).

I'll have to do some analysis for annual totals of miles traveled, gallons consumed and compare those totals to past years. I also find that I appreciate driving more when I do get behind the wheel, as that is usually when I have to carry cargo or passengers or the weather is bad for motorcycling.
all the best, L&S
