Take a look at the example chart below. The blue line is the MPG for my car over the last few months. The green dots are the $Cost per mile. Notice that spike around June? I was doing a test to see whether I could improve my mileage by not accelerating so much. It made a big difference, but it was driving me crazy, so I couldn't keep it up. My car is supposed to get 28-32 MPG, but it was averaging 27, so I wanted to make sure it wasn't the car that was the problem. (In case you were wondering, this is a commuter car, so pretty much the only thing I changed in June was how much I accelerated when the stop lights turned green).
Another thing that you can see from the chart is the cost per mile. About 11 cents on average. That will obviously change with the gas and oil market, but it can be handy to know that value in case you are trying to estimate your fuel cost for a long trip or vacation.
