Re: mileage database for HCHII bi-modal?
So, do you guys think that the low number of people at 46-46.9 mpg means that the data is bimodal or is it just a little noise? I tend to think it is just noise. If the distribution of people's FE in the HCHII truly is bimodal, I would think that it would become more prominent with time.

Of course there is tbe possibility that there is some phenomenon at 46 mpg but I can't think of a reason for it.
I can't wait until next month when I finally (I hope) have my HCHII Mag Pearl w/Navi to start adding to the database.

Here's what the distribution looks like with all cars that have submitted less than 4 tanks. Looks much more normal.

Pretty flat topped curve. Someone needs to do post count /unit of time.
The curve is pretty flat from 44mpg to 50 mpg-especially if you combine 46 with 47 and 49 with 50. The "bimodal" look is just because of the apparent dips at 46 and 50 and the up bumps at 47 and 49-averaging the number of folks in those 4 numbers would give about 19 fols each in that range of 46-50 mpg.
If I were less lazy I would do post counts on HCH2 folks per unit of time-I would then do the same with 2004+ Prius owners. I think-HOPE- it would show that HCH 2 owners post more per unit of time than Prius 2004+ owners.Of course,I would only count post from when they owned the car-and were members.Some of us were members before owning a Hybrid.
I'm certain you HCH 2 owners are more fanatical-on average- than Prius owners.
I can't really determine the level of committment to FE from this curve.
Oh well.Luck,Charlie

If so, we might see a normal curve for the frequent posters and normal curve for the first time posters but combined, they look like a bimodal curve.

I have no idea what any of that means. Perhaps the people are more "into" their HCH or perhaps the HCH has more problems to talk about? Got no clue?
