I finally got around to creating an account on CleanMPG.com and getting my mileage log up to date. It's a pretty nice setup for capturing and displaying mileage data. My record thus far:
I like the fact that temperature data can be captured, since "emperically" efficiency correlates well with ambient air temperature. This graph doesn't reflect that super well - I grabbed weekly mean temperatures for the week around each fill up from Weather Underground. In addition, a spiffy badge is dynamically created from this data:
Overall, I am happy with the mileage log interface and the graphs generated. I'll probably be using CleanMPG going forward to keep track of how the Prius is fairing.
In a perfect world an iPhone application for this would magically appear so I can easily enter the data right at the pump and avoid transcribing data to and from Notes.
All the gory detail of my mileage log can be found here.
