LFMarm:
That’s why I like AI — hard data over hundreds of dives doesn’t lie.

I also believe that there should be no shame on this because (1) part of it is l physiological (my wife will always have lower gas consumption regardless of how much more streamlined, calm, proficient, etc I am) and (2) because doing estimates on an optimistic consumption can be fatal when doing gas planning.

It’s great to try to improve over time but your SAC today is what it is and you should plan based on it, not on your best 1% consumption.

I agree and rereading my post, my comment was unclear. Like you, I just use the average from my computer. I was just musing a bit if folks have a tendency to round down.

Posted mine, I wonder if others are including an ‘optimism’ factor :)

Nope, Adjusted my vote recently, Mean/Median for the past years dives fall in the range selected.

I just report whatever the last one was. Seeing how conditions change gas consumption is what I have been geeking out on.
 
I started keeping track of my gas consumption and RMV to check on my progress
