What's your MPG/MPH/Distance/Time?
Having reset mine after a tire change, I thought now would be a good time to see some MID data from folks who have been collecting stats in the MID for a while. Please post yours.
Since low stats are of little value, let's have a 10,000 mile lower limit and consistent format to make comparisons easy. First section is from the MID, second section the model (year and AT or MT) and a brief list of modifications which may affect MPG along with description of the typical drive and driving style.
In case of other significant factors affecting MPG such as using aviation fuel, driving mostly up and down high mountains, leaving the parking brake constantly on, inflating tires to 10 PSI, etc., add a note at the end.
MPG: 23
MPH: 26
Distance: 25107
Time: 962.44
Model: 2005 MT
Mods: CAI, ASPEC body
Drive: Mostly slow commute
Style: Fairly aggressive

Changed my oil from Mobil 1 to Redline about 2 weeks ago. Then drove 340 miles from LA to Santa Clara, CA. Climbing 2 mountain ranges and a flat central California farm lands.

Yesterday I didn't know if it was only in my head, but the engine seemed to run smoother with the new lubricant.
That was from a trip to San Pedro, CA.
Here is some pic

So much for my trying to collect stats with a "10,000 mile lower limit and consistent format to make comparisons easy"! 
Though the data is useless and the fuel discussion misplaced, at least the pictures are pretty. We might as well leave this as a pretty MID pictures thread and I may try again with the dull data thread I was trying to start.

No apology needed. I am quite amused how my carefully and clearly worded suggestion was immediately and completely ignored in favour of something totally different. If I remember to take one, I may post a low mileage MID pic of my own.
Even better was the hijacking of the thread for a bazillionth discussion about fuel preferences.
Dry observational humour might have come across as typical forum passive-aggressive whining.
