Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

Yeah, looks like you're referring to Fuelly: http://www.fuelly.com

It is an online tool to track your fuel economy. I use a combination of that and my own Excel spreadsheet.

There is a top ten list there and it`s all small cars. I noticed people that drive small cars complain the most about gas.

My Dad used to complain about gas prices when he had the Durango... now I rarely hear him say anything about it. He still thinks it's too much... along with 90% of the world. It's nice going from 12 city/17 highway to 20 city/30 highway.

Yeah, I was even relieved going from 15 city/23 hwy in my Caddy to 19 city/32 hwy in my Bonne--doubly so since the Bonne burns regular gas!
