I think a lot more car samples are required to do something like that... It seems like we (NAH owners) are pretty sparsely spread out so it would be only a handful of cars per zip + radius.

As for your question on mileage, on my trip to SF I averaged 39.2mpg (computer readout), then in the city it dropped to 38.1 over about 50 miles or so. Based on that I would estimate that if I drove in SF all the time I would be getting around 35 on the computer readout, which is around 33mpg at the pump. The weather was quite warm when I went there, so I assume when the cold hits I can prb get around 30ish mpg (at the pump)...
