• column #10 (avg. speed [TC]): average speed as given by trip computer (TC) (km/h)^b
• column #11 (avg. temp): average temperature between fuelings, obtained from WolframAlpha (www.wolframalpha.com) using the following inquiry: ‘Average temperature Germany between DD/MM/YYYY and DD/MM/YYYY’

^a One partial filling included in refueling on 06.09.2012 (Polo).

^b Note that the overall (per tank of fuel) avg. fuel cons. as well as avg. speed given by the YHSD TC was calculated from recorded single-trip data and are therefore given with 2 and 1 decimal places, respectively.
