I just fill and write the distance travelled, the cars FE reading and the average speed, on the reciept, then reset everything.
My average speed for the last 4k miles is 38 MPH. I usually choose to drive on the older US routes which are mostly 55 MPH with some of the country sections at 60 MPH.
My routes are probably better than most, but you can really get stuck in traffic here if you are not careful. I have seen 1 mile in 1 hour, and 14 miles in 14 hours on a rare occasion, but I know all of the alternate routes and my worst was the 1 mile in one hour.
Now I exit on the frontage road where I can get off when I see the backup. Been driving here since before Interstates existed (at least here).
If I was going to change the way things were done, I would want to know average speeds, but then that would make it very complicated for many drivers.
I don't even look at the top tens very much. I know I will not be there in my car. When I was in the VX a lot of members didn't believe my mileage, but it was what I posted. If I had to enhance the facts, I wouldn't bother posting anything about mileage.
