iPhone WebApp?

or text messaging ability for ease of use and quicker data entry, before I forget?

Can you make an even more slimmed down website for ease of use on the iPhone? Or even a Text-message input?

Some way so I can extremely easily and quickly just type while I'm jumping in the car to drive away from the pump, type in my Mileage, Gallons, and Cost (total cost or cost per gal)?

Even a simple text format of:
198 10.894 3.889

as in 198 miles, 10.894 gallons and $3.889 per gallon

We mention the mobile site in the welcome email as well, but we could also put a link up somewhere to make it more obvious.

My phone is archaic. I can not use the mobile web version. Text message or twitter updates, please. Recommended format is MPG (Miles, Price Per Gallon, Gallons)

Integration with Jott would be perfect, so I could call in my fillups. Failing that, twitter might also work.

SMS input would totally rule.

I have no idea how to, nor a drive to learn Twitter. I'd just be happy with a text message input.

I created a Google Docs spreadsheet for tracking mileage. Then added a form to it - bookmarked the link on my iphone and when I fill up I enter the data on the iphone.

yes not to keep repeating others but a text input would help alot . I can not access the mobile site on my verizon phone all I get is a blank page. Even a slimmed down mobile site would rock. thanks

@Billie

Twitter can be VERY easily set up to work with your phone (SMS) and is no different from SMS'ing - By using twitter fuelly wouldn't have to pay/set up there own txting service they could piggyback off twitter and while this isn't my fav way of doing it (ie. my twitter updates will have random-looking numbers and most of the people who follow me dont want to see how many mile i got how much it cost and how many gallons i bought) it is better than mobile web which is SLOW (unless you have a crackberry or and iphone type of phone)

coffmanrunner, ideally we'd want twitter updates to come as direct messages, so your friends wouldn't have to see weird numbers fly past.
