The '
stars' are hypermileage users. If you get better than EPA mileage after 3,000 miles, you car gets a "star."
My
mileage started when I picked it up in Texas the first week of October. Temperatures were ~70 the whole way back but I had to drive 818 miles. So I broke up the trip into 2-3 hour segments at different cruise control settings. I used this to start my
miles per hour vs. MPG chart.
Unfortuantely my first tank was also my worst and it was also for 251 miles. If I dropped that tank, I'd get a 'star' but I'd also lose a data-point. My suggestion is having two stars:
1) life-time star
2) last 3,000 miles star
