Being able to filter the vehicle average fuel economy in the database to just my region would give me a better view of how I'm doing.

The next challenge is that the database doesn't have dates or seasons -- so we can't yet compare "summer" tanks to "winter" tanks.


Well, you could always compare yourself to me. I live in Macomb Township, and currently commute twice a week to Dearborn.
