Fuel Economy Survey
I have a Palm Pilot with software to track mileage data. I've been through
about 88 tanks of gas. I dumped the data into a spreadsheet and here's what
I found.
Would anyone care to comment on these numbers?
Some of you must be tracking averages. How do I compare?
1989 Audi 100 with about 188,500 miles on it.
Overall numbers. L and M and H
Sample Size = 83 fill-ups
Mean (Average) MPG = 21.99024 <===Typically tracked number.
Median = 22.12
Standard Deviation = 1.9744
Best MPG = 25.58
Worst MPG = 14.1
Mileage was better with better fuel.
Mean MPG Low octane = 20.73
Mean MPG Medium octane = 21.34
Mean MPG High octane = 21.89
Fuel was less expensive per gallon with better fuel.
Mean cost per gallon with Low octane = $0.048539
Mean cost per gallon with Medium octane = $0.047886
Mean cost per gallon with High octane = $0.046047
FYI
- The software is Kar Kar 2.01
- It tracks mileage, gallons, price, and general octane rating (L)ow
(M)edium (H)igh
- I don't have a brand preference so this fuel is from everywhere.
- I'm in the US so we're talking US Gallons and US Dollars.
- AmsOil oil and filter changed every 10K.
