Several days of below zero weather and 12 inches of snow. However, there has been a few days that were nearly 60 degree's in the last week (knocked down a 60 mpg 100 mile drive during that time). Going to be out of the car for most of the next month due to knee surgery. I wish you all the best!

Welcome all the new drivers. And a big welcome back to all returning drivers.

I added two new graphs to the mix. Enjoy
-MPG by Model Average for the last 12 Months
-Average MPG by Tranny <-- I added this one because I was curious the ROI of the 5th gear upgrade.
