Gee, Paul. It's not like you to keep such copious records. Seriously, that's great! 53MPG. I'm afraid that in a couple weeks I'm going to give my two-year report with only 49.2 or so.
I'm not that obsessive but do appreciate those that are. Thank you for the stats. I'll be printing it out and showing my parents. I'm trying to steer them to a hybrid...if not a Prius then a Cambrid or one of the Lexus sedan hybrids. (My Dad really wants a Lexus, my Mom says whatever he wants is fine but I think she'd rather save money.) Those graphs are great.
