Who got better gas mileage?

[Gordon Dickson]

We talked about comparing mileage but ultimately decided it wouldn't be useful info because we were driving different cars. We thought about filling our tanks before the experiment, then filling them immediately afterward and calculating the result. I think to measure the mileage you'd need to drive both routes in the same car, which would be an interesting study, too. But you'd have to do in on consecutive days.
