• Calculating fuel economy - October 10, 2006

  Some recent work that Ted has been doing about his fuel economy got me thinking about my own car (a 2005 Toyota Corolla). I have been recording every fuel purchase for the life of my car, including current odometer readings, price, gallons bought, and the mileage since the last fill up. So I have all the data. I even have some ideas about trends in my fuel mileage. I just haven’t sat down and analyzed it in any form. Today, however, I punched in all the data to OpenOffice and plotted some charts to see what’s going on.
