I use this for my three vehicles (Trailblazer, CBR Race bike, and my VF1100C) to track mileage history, range, and yearly fuel costs. I also use it to find real world MPGs on other vehicles.

Looks pretty cool but people aren't listing what type of driving they're doing, city or highway.

I'm really curious to see how my future cruze will handle San Francisco. My Jeep Patriot has a listed MPG of 21/25. In real world driving, I get between 15-16 mpg in the city, and 25-26 mpg on the highway. Since the cruze is listed as 24 city, I'm sadly expecting it to get around 19 mpg here in SF based on the Jeep's numbers. If it's better than 19mpg I'll be happy.

shouldn't matter what kind of driving they do, the idea is to get as many people to list their actual fuel mileage to get a general average, from one extreme to another. somewhere in the middle, wherever that might be, is what you'll expect if you intend to own one.

City "extreme" mpg category....

Zenman, there should be a new category to rate the mpg driving condition for your city driving: City Extreme Keep us posted on how the Cruze handles the SF city extreme conditions.

I signed up, now just to remember to log my fillups

Is there an option on there for "High Banks at Daytona"??? Got 38mpg on WV backroads all week commuting, including two traffic jams in Mo-town for basketball games, and getting stuck behind three school buses one day going in to work. That's in the cruze.

1997 accord, 5-speed, dx-model, got me 20mpg and 8mpq (oil) on the same drive last 3 weeks, up until it threw a rod ... through the side of the engine block, the steering column, 3 layers of sheet metal, and into the left front tire and shock last Friday coming back from work.

...is that 38mpg from a tank-fillup or from the dash DIC display?

Haha, I will definitely keep the forum informed. It looks like I might be getting my cruze next week sometime. We'll see...

Both agreed, +/- a negligible amount. I think it was reading 38.4 when I filled up on the dash display, and my math gave 38.1xxx off the filling station and miles driven, so I'd say 38's a safe, honest number.

...excellent!

I signed up too. Great looking site. I've been logging my mileage since 2005 on another site, but thought I'd join that one as well.

For people who don't log but are starting, the easiest thing to do is get a receipt every time you get gas and write the mileage at the top of it. It took me a bit of getting use to, but after a month or 2 it becomes second nature.

I've done that for DECADES! I just never posted the results anywhere. Now that I FINALLY have a car that gets mileage in the high 20's and hopefully 30's, I'm EXCITED!

I'll make a note to sign up after my first fill up. I had been keeping track of mpg for my civic with gas cubby for iphone for the past year or so. 29.6 avg over the past 13 months. Not bad at all, but looking forward to even better mileage with my Eco. Put about 100 miles on it after pickup today..mostly highway. DIC instantaneous mpg was reading anywhere from high 30's up to the 50's, with the majority of time in the mid to low 40's. Someone else said it here before..this car just seems to glide on the highway.

This is exactly what I do, but I use fueleconomy.gov
