Fuel Economy Log Weeks 25 - 37
March 4th, 2007 | by Brian Carr |Needless to say, I have been very laid back when it has come publishing my fuel economy logs. I’ve received a couple of emails from people asking me if I’ve stopped publishing the logs because I’ve started to get worse gas mileage and I didn’t want to seem like a hypocrite.
Thankfully, this isn’t the case. I’m still getting great gas mileage and the only explanation is that I’ve been too lazy to translate my data to words. So now that I have a lazy Sunday afternoon to myself, I thought it would be a great idea to go ahead and update my fuel economy logs.
Over the past four months I have driven 7,212.70 miles, used 221.22 gallons of gas and paid, on average, $2.20 per gallon, all of which adds up to an average fuel economy of 32.60 miles per gallon, which is about 12.43% higher than my car’s usual average.
This 12.43% increase in gas mileage equates to a savings of roughly $.27 per gallon, which over the past four months has equated to a total savings of $60.48, which is enough for about two fill ups.
When I combine my four month savings with my prior 24 weeks savings, I’ve saved $175.98 over the past three-quarters of a year. And considering gas prices are only going to continue to go up, this number should continue to drastically increase.

Also Brian,
WhereI work is looking into producing a fuel economy log as one of our give-aways at festivals and events.
Do you have any links which have a good template for printing ideas(of course on FSC paper and veggie ink) we have one which is from the gov. of canada, however it is for only one month and we were looking for an annual calendar
