Default Re: 29 HAHs and MPG Rising

Boy, Lewis...you're not kidding. 9/29 cars (31%) above the threshold, many of them right out of the box. Now let's see if they maintain and even improve on those good numbers... a little time spent here and on the road, and I'm willing to bet that they will.

I was fixated on the few folks who posted 1 or 2 sub-par tanks months ago, and vanished - they skew the average, especially when there are fewer cars in our section. But I'm realizing that as the others add more and more tanks, those sub-par tanks are absorbed, and it doesn't skew the avg so much.

I wonder what the percentage of cars above threshold is for the other cars ? Will have to check that out and see...something tells me that the HCH's are going to beat us by a bit in that aspect. But as long as we keep in mind that it's not a competition, but rather, a collaborative effort, we all come out ahead...even those who don't drive hybrids and don't care to
