Post Your MPG Graphs Here!

With the price of gas being what it is, MPG is a hot topic. Thought it would be helpful to all to show real world mileage over time in a graphic way.

My Element has just over 74,000 mile on it. I'll up-date often.:cool:

Just an up-date. Warmer weather improves mileage...until ac season.

The upward "bump" in economy was during my sabbatical last year (no work commute).

Overall, I wish economy were about 3 mpg better.

LWIZE, I glad to see I wasn't the only one using miles as the X axis :)
The "Average" in this graph is total gas used since new divided by current miles. Everyones data dispelleds any outrageously low or high MPG.
MPG varies from fill-up to fill-up but Averages are consistent.
