MPG monthly competition

[GeneralZod]

People generally see increases in city MPG with lightweight crank pulleys, and I saw my best city tank ever in my Accord while I had one on. I don't see why not with a LWFW, driving habits being equal.

Also, I realize there is a clusterf$*# of categories already, but how about the most important one: cold climate, or warm climate? If I have anything less than 175 miles on my tank, my DIC drops like a stone when I start it up dead cold and drive it. To the point I don't reach the original MPG until I've been driving 50 on the interstate for over 5 miles and the car is completely warm by the time I get on. Perhaps this would be fair if done over the Summer? Some of us are still dealing with 30 degree temps and winter fuel, and are at a major disadvantage before we even step foot in our car.

The amount of information is for data purposes. I think if you want a true baseline or "competition" the information cannot be equal. Maybe the sponsors can chime in and offer stickers to the winner. Or something along those lines.

To make it completely egalitarian, each moth can have an overall winner in a segment. Like AT vs MT or something. That way the LT MT won't clean up. Main the competition is to test yourself. Some just have good conditions and even better commutes.

Tension breaker......

The best calculated trip mileage I've seen on a full tank of e85 was 241 miles.:sadbanana:

Oh:
1.4T hatch MT LTZ

Mine was similar 271miles 10.82 gallons refill on 87

1.8 Sedan MT driving very conservative 80% highway

Is there a winner for worst mpg? I'd totally win that

I'll win because 1.8 #lead foot

I'm seeing 16mpg calculated right now, but that's because I'm shifting back and forth from 3rd and 2nd, 3rd and 2nd, in the city breaking in my clutch. LMAO

 

[GeneralZod]

I want to make an E85 segment.

I want to make an E85 segment.

I'd win that one. hahaha

I have been called a bull****ter before for getting 38.5 MPG in a 98 Z24 and for my 44.8 MPG in a 1.8/5mt hatchback. You get used to it after a while.

Bull****! No way are you getting that in the 1.8 ;p

Jk, that's quite good.

I'm currently at 50.9 DIC after 320mi.

I'm kinda looking forward to this! I've calmed down my commuting lately, just watching my DIC, and according to my last tank I was getting 34 on MIXED, at times spirited driving. Course, this will all change the minute I get tuned..lol.

Still waiting on the spreadsheet. I PMed another member who said they would try. Waiting for them to PM back.

The back up to my back up is a co-worker who is a wizard at excel. I tried it the other night and got a bit too fancy with the functions and filtering. But I was using google docs and the undo feature went dead.

I could retry on excel, but get the willies just clicking the icon.

 

[Insanika]

I may play around with some things just because I am a nerd about spreadsheets. Can you PM me the functions you'd like?

 

[GeneralZod]

PM sent. Thanks!

Could always try libreoffice if you hate Microsoft.

It's free.

Here are a pair of teaser images from my work on this in php. They're screengrabs from my uber development machine, a Samsung 7" Galaxy Tab 2. They look as though they lack quality on this other tablet for some reason.

Input form which will be altered slightly and double as a filter form.

This is an early screencap of the tank (fillup) view. It's not beautified yet. There will be another view for aggregate data (monthly).

 

[GeneralZod]

Holy sweet baby Jesus... Dude, that is amazing work. This group has been amazing. An idea took off in less than a week. A month later we are at a place that could take years to develop as a community.

Wow, thanks a bunch! That is some seriously sleek stuff even if you call it "not beautiful."

Thanks again Ungawd.

 

[ungawd]

Here's a quick beautification. Squashed a rounding bug in the mpg calculation as well.

I'll add in hyperlinks to the usernames that will bring up their fillup list and averages, statistics, and additional tank notes. I've allotted room to enter vehicle modifications by tank and people will be able to filter results based on that data. It would be good to know how tumbler removal and different intakes/exhaust stack up. We may finally be able to see if the Injen intake is truly "the mpg intake. Also how the bellypan may or may not improve mileage.

I fixed some quirks that annoyed me. They were mostly alignment, decimal places, and the fuel type was generic. Fuel types available changed to AKI, RON, E85, and E47. That should be good coverage I imagine.

I'll hopefully get some time tonight at work to mess with it some. The past two nights at work have been somewhat busy.

 

[ungawd]

Here's the input form and all of its glory. The stupid tablet takes crap screenshots in portrait mode apparently. I had to split it into 4 images and have no app to combine them. Tablets can be such a PITA sometimes (all the time).

 

[GeneralZod]

Looks amazing. Nice to hear another person not like working on a tablet. I have one at all times. However, working on spreadsheets with them is asking to stroke out due to anger. Loves to assume I want to copy and paste at the same time.

My work laptop is a MacBook Pro that runs boot camp 90% of the time for CAD (don't ask why we use Mac). I notice boot camp has some major issues with excel. Like major crash issues. On my home laptop it is almost flawless save for some odd sort issues and the random menu over sensitivity.

In a few years when google frees everything up, technology will be more agreeable.
