[Healeys] economy run

[Warthodson at aol.com]

Fuel economy is a popular topic at our local AHC meetings with a wide range  
of MPG being reported. So, I would like to incorporate a low tech. economy  
run with one of our fall driving events. It would be based on the honor system.  
Everyone would fill up at designated gas station which would also be the  
starting point for the drive & record their starting mileage & start  time. Near 
the end of the scenic drive, they would fill up again at a designated  
station, record their fuel consumption, mileage & arrival time. Then they  would 
drive to the final destination where we would calculate the individual MPG  & 
average MPH. The scenic drive would have a "target" average MPH, that  could 
easily & safely be attained. What I need is a simple formula (or a  correction 
factor) to adjust the MPG up or down based upon the individual  deviation from the 
specified MPH. Does anyone have any suggestions for  this type of "correction 
factor" or formula?
Also, if anyone knows how this adjustment was made on the serious  type, high 
tech economy runs, I would be interested in knowing.
