Arrow The Ultimate MPG log?

OK, I know I probably need help, but I've now logged every single tank-full of fuel for over 3 years and 52,000 miles. With odometer readings for accurate calculation, this must be evidence of severe OCD!

What is interesting is how MPG seems to have improved over the three years, particularly since switching to Shell V Power (and how the MPG drops every time it goes in to A4 Audi).

My place of work hasn't changed and my commute is a mix of narrow country roads, dual carriageway and motorway, around 36 miles each way, averaging 43 MPH (but it's usually a pretty stop-start journey).

So, an overall average of 21.45 MPG from an S8: not bad IMHO!

can anyone open this file? I just tried and failed. Let's try a pdf.
