I think this wouldn't be controllable. A lot is based off of what users put in, sometimes I see very shocking numbers, and when I go to check it out and see how it's done, it's one tank, over a gallon or two, and the only fill up added- or one every six months, so on. The unreliable data that doesn't seem as complete, or as realistic will still not be accurate.
I remember reading an old thread that someone was posting their fuel economy and not counting the gallons they got for free. Their mindset was "I didn't pay for it, it doesn't get counted as gas I bought, so it's free miles to me." So, their mpg was crazy high, and skewed the charts. Personally, I would just do the math to figure out the average gallon price- if you have ten gallons, five you paid $2.00 for, five that were free, you paid $1.00/g, but not everyone thinks that way. It's all honor based, and the dishonorable usually don't want to play fair, or attempt proof- that's just something to have to deal with it, unless others have a suggestion.
I am contemplating some type of Guinness World Record attempt
eventually, but that's something entirely different on my own lol

I would like to see an option to compare
with them, but I would think the easiest way would be to take the data we already have (trucks, diesels, et cetera already in their own category) still separated. So one COULD look at trucks/diesels/ whatever vs cars, or just see x/xxxx cars.
I like the brainstorming, but the actual implementation and content will be on the Mods (or their developers) and what is reasonable for them to put together.
