Whatever the current experiment, I will be continuously monitoring the following parameters of each commute:

  1. Date
  2. Start Time
  3. Starting Temp
  4. Cold tire pressure
  5. Wind Direction
  6. Weather – (Clear, Rain, Heavy Rain, Ice/Snow)
  7. Attempted Average Speed
  8. Actual Average Speed
  9. End Temp
  10. Warm tire pressure
  11. Economy
  12. Wind Speed
  13. Traffic Density – (Low, Med, High, Very High)
  14. End Time
  15. Duration

My Cobalt has a fairly nice dashboard computer that provides avg speed, avg mpg, ambient temp, and tire pressures. This makes it very nice to track these values.
