Suggested sanity check for out-of-order fill up entries

Recently, I just added almost 20 fill ups over my cell phone, and data entry seems to be a nightmare, as I messed up an awful lot. Entirely my fault, and not the sites fault, but, maybe a new data check should be implemented to assist in ensuring that the dates entered make sense?

Also;
- On a side note, I don't remember if I was prompted on the mobile fill up form, but it MIGHT be prudent to have the fuelup_date as a full date & time field, or allow it to be included in the CSV as such, as with multiple fillups on that day (If I had the GA instead of a rental I would have filled up twice in a day) it'd allow for this sanity check above to be a bit more precise and cause one less false-alarm.

- I also `JUST` noticed that even though the CSV has the Metric heading values, the values themselves are still set for US. (KM and Liters are headings, 12.19 liters for a price of 3.79 doesn't make sense) [more inside]

new link for Mobile after submit

On the mobile site it would be nice to have a link after submitting a fill-up to go back and submit a new fill up brand new.

I'm sitting in my car right now filling in about 20 fill-ups and the BACK button is doing exactly what its supposed to do with repopulating everything again. ;) I know and understand that the page is typically supposed to be used once when at the gas bar, but it'd be nice when the wife wanders off and I'm stuck watching snow plows drive by. ;)

Blackberry 8900 - http://m.fuelly.com - Not working

I just picked up a brand new BlackBerry 8900. I'm trying to use http://m.fuelly.com and all I'm getting is a white page. I've switched the browser identification between BlackBerry and Firefox to no avail. I can open up http://www.fuelly.com without issue and I can log in.

Any ideas what could be going on or what I need to look up?

Fuel Spreadsheet

When looking at my cars profile, in the spreadsheet, it'd be useful to see the amount paid, instead of my having to pull out a calculator and see what the fuel volume * price per unit is.

Heading Typo?

I just noticed that in the METRIC viewing of my car, in the table of my recent fill ups I'm seeing the table heading of L100/KM. Shouldn't it KM/100L?

Export based on Metric/US

Is it possible when one exports the fillups that it exports based on whether I've got METRIC/US selected? I'm setup as METRIC, and I'm downloading as US. ;)

Thanks!

KM/L versus L/100KM

When I figure my mileage (Being Canadian, sounds better than kilometerage ;) ) I tend to think of Kilometers Per Liter, instead of Litres per 100km. I know that the L/100km conversion is new to this site (And I appreciate it) but was wondering if a toggle could be put in, or additional stats be displayed with that view? I just personally find it easier (And prefer) to think of the distance my car has traveled per liter, versus how many liters it'll take to push my car 100km. MPG=KM/L as far as keeping the numbers `meaning` the same. The math is just simple linear multiplication or division (Depending on how your DB is set to store its info) for US or UK gallons.

Awards for improper entry

I just realized a logic flaw with your "This user did this just now."

Apparently I just hit a record entry for entering my fuel numbers. What I did was enter my 3 receipts I had in my car out of order. So I entered the second oldest receipt first, then the one I made today, then the one I filled up a couple weeks ago. I shouldn't get "Top tank" awards if all I do is goof up data entry. ;) [more inside]
