NM Trip Stats and info

So, after making it back from New Mexico and looking over the data, it's fairly amazing the things computers can do these days.

First, I realized after making it to New Mexico, that my trip logging was set up incorrectly. My trip down was broken into multiple short trips, and some of the trip data was useless (I was using default tracking stats and settings). So my trip to New Mexico data was rather useless since I couldn't combine anything.

So after setting up my tracking correctly, I present my trip (New Mexico to Utah) stats!

789.05 Miles over 11 hours and 40 minutes  with an average speed of 68.5 mph(cost is screwed up as it only tracks when you refill and I started with a full tank) Cost should be 50% higher at $105

(The flags are the stops)

Graph 1: Speed

The first graph to see is my speed. Red is faster, green is slower. My fastest being almost 91 miles an hour (probably while passing in a single lane road) to stopped at 0mph

Graph 2: Miles per Gallon

So these 2 graphs were miles per gallon (long term average), and miles per gallon (instant). The left I believe is the average mpg over the entire trip, and the right is how my mpg was right at the time of polling. So my trip average was 28.89, while my highest instant mpg was 52 (probably coasting downhill or something).

Graph 3: Fuel Flow Rate

This was an interesting graph to see I thought. It shows how many CC's of fuel were being consumed a minute for the trip. It ranged from 18.5cc/min to 460cc/mon over the course of the trip. It's somewhat similar to mpg except you average it by time instead of distance. You can see on the zoomed in graph the times where my cc/min skyrocketed and went into red. Those were times where I had to pass trucks on a single lane road, so I laid on the accelerator.

Graph 4: Altitude

Just a basic altitude graph of the trip. You can see the high point durango at 8300 feet, while Las Cruces and Orem are fairly similar at 3750 ft or so.

Graph 5: Ambient Temperature

Ambient temperature on the trip. I left at around 5:15am and arrived in Orem at 5pm. The temperature ranged from 23 to 59 F over the course of the trip. Coldest in the morning nearing Albequerque (probably around 7am), and hottest being around Moab at 3.

Overall, it's pretty cool to see this kind of data graphed for a trip. I was able to see the data in real time too as I drove.
