So 2008 ended a week or so ago and I finally got around tallying up my last few gasoline receipts. Here’s my overall gasoline statistics for 2008 on my Honda Civic EX Coupe 2001:
Total Miles: 7456.6
Total Gallons: 264.245
Total Cost: $899.53
Average Cost Per Gallon: $3.40
Average MPG: 28.2
Average Miles Per Dollar: 8.3
Average Daily Cost: $2.46
Average Daily Mileage: 20.4
Here’s some nice pretty charts that charts the averages across the year:
Nothing too surprising about the graphs. My MPG is pretty flat along the 28MPG line, while several charts were mostly affected by the cost of gasoline hitting over $4.00, then dropping back below $2.00.
Update: Noticed one of my graphs included stats from 2007. Fixed.
I just went to fill gas today and it looks like it’s just about to tip over the $2.00 mark.
How did you calculate daily mileage?
It’s just total miles driven over the year divided by 365 days.
For the chart, each point on the graph was when I filled my gas tank up. Included in the data I save is the # of miles I drove between the fill-ups. With that, I can just divide by the # of days between the 2 fill-ups, and that’ll equal my daily mileage.
