Re: Comparing the ranges of FE
Yeah, the temperature does make a huge difference too, but since most of the cars (not all, of course) have data for all year, then that averages out over time. It would be nice to be able to do statistical filtering on the mileage database to compare all the cars driven under similar conditions, unfortunately I don't think I have the patience to crawl through all the data for that purpose.
Another big factor that can trump "how" you drive is the terrain that you drive on. Around here there's a lot of steep hills that are impossible to take a run at, so they tend to suck the gas a lot more than people driving around on the prairies.
