Driving Habits 

# posted by ron @ 10/23/2007 11:24:00 PM

I wouldn't expect too many to follow this type of thing like I do so I thought you might enjoy a bit of my driving habits, fuel costs and such. Keep in mind that I typically drove 200 miles a weekend racing this summer. Its much less now. Each dot is a fuel stop. Not all are full fill ups (full fill = 12-14 gal), but most are. I'm missing a good chunk of data from april and may. I think its on my parents home computer.

After analyzing the data its been proved that Ron will never get laid again if these trends continue.

yea, tell me about it. Meeting Pussy Goal's (MPG) slumped heavily in September but seems to be recovering.

it should be noted that as the cost of fuel went up so did your MPG. an odd drop in MPG around the 5th of september correlates well with an awkward heat wave we had in the north east and would suggest you started using your air conditioning more during that period. does your operational cost include oil changes, tires, brakes and the such or is that simply the cost of fuel? the data points of feb 2 and june 7 show how much the cost of fuel can change, a 1.13$ raise in only 4 months. roughly a 50% increase.

conclusion, your records are more detailed then mine. i need to start keeping dates and other info.

no repair costs. maybe for 2008 I'll keep those records along with some notes about the type of driving, fast/slow/city/highway.
