I have used and loved how the SG tracks mileage by trip, tank and daily. The Insight's extremely accurate FCD has made me lazy as I admit, and I'm usually rushing after fueling. I got it one step closer tonight, so hopefully it will be right soon.

RedDevil, I calculated a daily mpg of 94.25. Here is how I came up with it:

62.0 mpg to work over 1.5 miles, plus extra 0.6, = 2.1 miles
139.4 mpg to home over 1.5 miles = 1.5 miles

Now, I make the assumption that since I averaged xx.x mpg over x.x miles, it is essentially the same thing as getting xx.x mpg across every 0.1 miles of travel.

2.1 miles = 21 tenths of a mile
1.5 miles = 15 tenths of a mile

((62.0*21)+(139.4*15))/36

36 is the total tenths of a mile driven roundtrip.

This equation would give a trip average of 94.25 mpg. Thoughts/corrections sir?
