Most Miles Logged
my own Accord has 122 fuel ups on here for 45k miles over the past 3 years (almost 3 years).
I live on an island though, so there's not much driving to be had haha

Per Month tracking?

and the more customizable reports that can be generated, the more fuelly users you will find with giddy smiles on their faces as they view the report of how many MPG's they achieved from 11/28/2008 - 12/06/2008!!!!

I couldn't agree more. Every time I fill up I can't wait to input the data, to see how good or bad my driving habits were for my last full tank.
And yes, because the backend is SQL pased (I'm assuming MySQL) pulling and manipulating the data is easy enough, it's just a matter of applying graphs to it (the data) and doing some cosmetic changes to the front end that we're accustomed to.

Monthly Average Cost per Mile
everything that's done on this site can be done in Excel. If people wanted to do it in Excel, they wouldn't be using this site, hence the feature request :)
No?

I'm aware that looking at last years cost compared to this years cost wouldn't really be useful, but it would definitely be interesting.
I would like to at least see how far I've driven per month, and what I spent on fuel per month. I'm trying to generate as much useful data as I can because I'd like to get my boss and co-workers using this site, since we do a lot of driving going to job sites.

can receipts be entered in any date order?
negative sir, all I have is an option for "partial fill-up" both on the add new entry page, and both editable pages.

Also, when I edited in the missed_fuelup field, I did that via Excel. When I edit a transaction via the web page, the previously entered "Miles since last fuel-up" data isn't shown - is this by design?
Also, how do I specify that I missed a receipt / fillup data? I edited both from the basic stats page and the log page - am I just not seeing it?

no, I didn't notice anything wrong, at least not that I can tell. For my own mental sake though, I exported the data, and arranged everything by date, and manually added the odometer reading as well. After doing that, my average MPG went from 25.2 to 27.3. Wait, I manually added that I missed a fillup (dated 8-12-08) - would that affect the average that much?
Forums, well I guess i'm just used to everyones "cookie-cutter" forums and all the options available with them. But they won't integrate as cleanly as the current ones do I suppose. One feature I miss though is an e-mail notification of a reply.
Will there be a "search" option (I know we have the browse option already) to look for specific things, like best average mpg, cost, most fillups, FWD, RWD, manual or automatic, basically any of the car related info we have put in already?
