Damn, your mileage is pretty solid. Mine seems to bounce around everywhere:

The low numbers (10-11 MPG) are when I was towing. I forgot to mark them in the comments section of the spreadsheet.
Yeah, yours does seem to bounce around more. It looks like lately your MPG is 10-20% better than mine. Could be due to gearing if you have the six-speed auto; the G56 manual is geared quite low. At 70 MPH my 6.7 is turing about 2,150 RPM.

IT WORKED !!!!

( i think )

The page cover thing is now a seagull on it, and when I re-opened that program that you sent me I can now type into the boxes. I had to answer some questions first though.

The top line has some of your old info in it though. Should I just leave it there, or doesn't it matter? Will the graph thing automaticaly fill itself up as I make entries?

This is COOL !! I can't wait to get fuel and do maintenance now!!

OK, I'm working with it a bit now. Do I hafta enter in my mileage every time I make an entry? Is that what the MILES collum is for? Also, what is MOVING AVE mean?

Will it automaticly keep the info that I store, or do I hafta do something after I enter it?

Delete my info in the first data row. Yes, the data for the graph should update automatically.

The Miles column is a formula, so it should subtract your previous odometer reading. Read my earlier post about the color coding and other stuff. The first row is a little different than the others, because there is no previous data.

Once you save the file your data will stay there.
