Right on Bob! ... and while we are at it, can we have a ratio adjustment for cold climates vs. the SoCal and Florida guys that get summer like driving conditions all year round. My FE does a dump in mid-October, and I know I am not gonna get it back until at least April sometime. A simple adjustment for Latitude would do wonders (although it would not compensate the Denver guys for altitude).

The thing is, you are really competing only against your own record. The real purpose of the database is to give newcomers to hybrids an idea what to expect. The range is a good thing because most people have some idea of how efficiently they drive.

It is the ignorant among us that will eventually destroy us all.
