Default Re: More accurate database????

In the past, I have cut-and-pasted parts of the database into an excel spreadsheet. Based upon the distribution of posting numbers, I've found cutting out all with less than 4-5 is enough to get rid of those outliers. I also think it makes sense to drop the upper and lower 5% to trim those who by one reason or another have exceptionally Prius friendly or challenging routes.

I'm curious, what is it you want to investigate?
