Wouldn't it have been more accurate to use the "last three fills" data? This would show a much more accurate scale of how everyone is doing with their FE.

Just a far-out example, but if someone did a lot of hauling as a summer job or something and got tanks that were 15mpg all summer, then their job ended and their past 3 tanks were 30mpg, then obviously they would probably get 30 again, but their 90-day average would be very very low because it includes all the 15mpg tanks.

I really am sorry to bring this up again, but I can't find any possible way for me to even come close on the first round. If Blinger gets the same mpg as his last tank (~44), I would need to get a whopping 28-29 to beat him... meaning a 450 mile tank... I have never even seen 400.
