If you think about it, a monthly average over six months smooths out the highs and lows. One real high month of diesel usage is balanced out by months when the truck is parked and we drive a small car.
Judging by the number of hits the budget has gotten a lot of people are looking but there aren't many comments - so I'm glad for this one - it shows that someone cared enough (even if it was to need clarification) to ask a question. So thanks for commenting!
