The way I'm calculating "average MPG" is actually useful whereas the way you're calculating it isn't because it tells us exactly nothing.
Why are you insisting on calculating it in a way that tells us nothing? The way you're calculating it we could hit an average of 55mpg and be using more gas per mile traveled than we are today.

What you're calculating isn't average MPG. It's average gas consumption per vehicle.
If you want to argue yours is a better measure go for it. But that doesn't make it something it isn't.

You tell me Yuki: 4 cars travel a total of 400 miles and consume a total of 8 gallons of gas. What is the average mpg for the 4 cars?
@Groucho: Cars with better and worse gas mileage do not consume exactly the same amounts of gas. If they did, we wouldn't care about gas mileage.
 Yer doin it wrong.

No I'm calculating average miles per gallon.
The calculation for miles per gallon is: (miles traveled / gallons used = MPG)
Your calculation ignores miles traveled which makes it entirely pointless.

Fuel efficiency is the answer to high gas prices.
Couple years ago I had to replace my SUV. I did my research and I replaced my SUV with a trail rated jeep that gets double the gas mileage of my previous jeep.
I can't tow with it - but other than that, it's capable of doing all the off-roading I was doing with my previous jeep and I spend half as much on gas. Oh and the vehicle was less than 20k out the door.
I am super duper awesome!!!
You got a Liberty didnt you? Its the only Jeep that gets even decent gas mileage
My 2005 Wrangler gets 19mpg HWY and I have after market intake and exhaust to improve over factory.
Gas Mileage sucks in Jeeps no matter what you do.
I wish to god someone would make a diesel engine for Jeeps that doesnt require a major refit and all new drive system so I could go Bio
On a side note, you can tow with a short wheel based Jeep. Just tow less than 1200lbs or have a breaking system on the trailer.

rofl at paulg.
he must be this one commenter on my local news site.
he thought that obama was ripping us off because we're now paying 3.99 for 9/10ths of a gallon rather than for a full gallon. so he said the effective fuel price was 4.43/gal

And what do you think the price is per gallon if you pay 3.99 for 9/10ths of a gallon?
