Fuelly also has a partial fill up feature which I have yet to see work correctly, so we get people having a tank that "got" several hundred mpg, or more mysteriously someone whose lifetime mpg is single digits when they have never had a fill up with less than 25 mpg.
I agree, fuelly should have some kind of matrix to throw out obviously bad fill ups. You can have somebody with lots of tanks, maybe some pretty good actually, then you look closely and see a few more 200mpg tanks thrown in to the average as well. It doesn't take many 200 mpg tanks to make a pickup look pretty good on average LOL
