Default add your data to www.fueleconomy.gov

This mileage database is great. I love it. I will always keep my data here.

However, there is another MPG database into which I believe it would be wise for us hybrid folks to post our mileage data. It is located at www.fueleconomy.gov. Note that this web site periodically gets referenced in news articles.

I poked around there and found that the MPG values for my beloved HCH were exceedingly low; then I looked at how many folks had entered data there. Two. Or one (depending on the model).

The reason I recommend adding our data there -- in addition to here -- is because many folks may go there in order to determine what MPG to expect from hybrids. And if we don't put enough data out there, we are in danger of allowing the results to be skewed in one direction or another.

So, I'd recommend giving the web site a quick perusal, and if you feel so inclined, adding your data to the mix.
