Re: dug this gem up while searching for the NEW gem
This is a good topic for another thread, but let me just mention that the newest database feature provides additional data about the distribution of the cars. While I haven't yet calculated error, the difference between the current median (47.6) and the mean (47.9) means there is very little skew. The median is reisistant to outliers, as well, so even if there were hypermilers getting 1000 MPG, it would barely change the figure.
