I have been doing all that. But as U can see my numbers are around 30s.. not 50s. Is yours a 4 banger or 6? and is it a 1.8L or 2L? Or 3.5L like mine?
I think this L is a better way of measuring since the higher the L = power = suck gas.
The Paseo has a 1.5L and the Matrix has a 1.8L. Both of my cars are smaller than yours and weight less (Paseo is 2000lbs, Matrix is around 2800lbs). They are also both stick shift so I pulse and glide them everywhere.
The best way to really rank people is % above the EPA values. The EPA number becomes the baseline. If you drive to get good fuel economy you can exceed that number by quite a bit. If you drive poorly you can get much worse. But, at least this sets a more even playing field.
Agreed on the ratios thing. But that is much more work. I realize it simple math, but multiply that by 1/3 of the members *(those members eventually contributing to this thread) and I'm put those up manually. You did your entry perfectly, but what about everyone else?
I guess this is just until we can find our own mpg tracker.
What if I did the top 20?...I can try that. The hard part is find the gov ratings.

Yes, thank you. But it's not that simple it's Figuring out how much better they are compared to the epa, expressing it in percentage, use the percentage to rank everyone.x 1/3 of TN or the eventual amount of folks who will respond here. It's a small group here, but I won't be able to continue percentage ranking when there is a lot of people.
....unless it's done automatically.

My Corolla was bought May 19th and it only has 1150km on it so far. All short drives around town with one 60 mile trip and so far I'm averaging 38MPG on a Canadian gallon. The end of June we'll be taking a trip to Toronto. That's a 5000km return trip so I'll be able to get a fairly good read on long distance averages then and will post them here.
jwmartell - 45.6 mpg (US gallon) Corolla 1150km on the odom
Fumes: Someone check my math please. I assumed JW converted to miles, but forgot to convert Canadian gallons to US gallons. Canadian gallon being larger, I multiplied 38mpg by 1.20 to get a US mpg. If I'm wrong, correct me.
The ratio is 1 gal(CAN) = 4.535 / 3.786 = 1.198 gal (US). Rounding this off to 3 significant figures, we find 1 gal(CAN) = 1.20 gal(US).

How about Have the Top tanking ALL the cars. And than break all the other into Liter? So the 1.5L, 1.8L, 2.0L, etc, 3.5L. Likely the 3.5L can't likely get better gas mileage than the 1.5L. So this wait it is fair for the 3.5L seperate from the 1.5L. Of cause 3.5L will outrun the 1.5L any day.
thoughthard - 52 MPG, summer 1998 or 1999, Toyota Paseo 1992 5EFE (filled tank; cruise set at 23 MPH for 2-2.5 hours, with occational stops; filled tank)
Fumes : give me update numbers LOL.

And here.. did I average it correctly? If they had percentages, how would I apply that?? Best TN Mileage!
You have a point TM77. What does everyone else think about liters?
