    According to the numbers on the ECO Savings Record screen, I saved $135 in fuel compared to my previous car (1991 Toyota Camry LE @ 30mpg)

    41 gallons @ ~57mpg is ~2337 miles. My commute is 120 miles roundtrip 7 out of 10 working days (MTWTh, then TWTh).

    Congrats on your savings. The c gets double the mileage of our rav 4, and triple the tundra. We have 1437 miles on the c averaging 50.1 overall, with average speed of 40. What drives our average down is 75 miles per hour on the freeway. Like many of you, this thing gets incredible mileage just "putting" along. Good car that delivers as promised.

    I don't quite understand the graph's calculations. When I look at the bar graph, it suggests I saved 8 gallons of gas, and that I saved little over $50. But $4.40 (the price I input) multiplied by 8 (the gallons saved) equals $35.20. Am I being stupid here?

    The gallons reported below the bars are the gallons you have used, not saved.

    Very happy with mine! That is real money! Don't even think about that Infiniti G37xS.....

    (except sometimes I miss the 328 HP....but this goes along way to getting over it!!)
