I have close to 300 gas ups ( not always 100% fills ) on my Magnum, I had about 150 uploaded here, but I have started to condence them down to cover fill up to fill because how the site handles part fills.
I'll be adding the rest of my fills as I have time.

Ok here is an example :
I have 8 fills :
Odo_____Date_____Type____Fuel__Fill$___Gal$___Gals___MPG__Miles
93097__07/16/09__Sunoco___93__$46.00__$2.62__17.50__14.8___259
93456__07/18/09__Valero____93___$7.00__$2.64___2.64__NC
93465__07/18/09__BP_______93__$41.00__$2.59__15.77__20_____368
93804__07/21/09__Chevron__93__$10.00__$2.79___3.57__NC
93887__07/22/09__Sunoco___93__$46.00__$2.59__17.70__19.84__422
94166__07/27/09__Chevron__93__$10.00__$2.84___2.84__NC
94227__07/28/09__Sunoco___93__$47.00__$2.64__17.74__16.52__340
Ok that comes to 1680 Miles from last fill (odo reading 92838), 94.86 Gals, thats 17.71 MPG.
Now what would be the differnace if I just entered 1 fill at 94.86 Gallons and a Odo reading of my last fill ? because I am just trying to wrap my head around the idea about how you are handling the part fills.
BTW - I am not picking on you or the site, I am just trying to help this work more smoothly. I have records of every fill for my car from the 116 miles that were on it when I picked it up, to the current almost 95k miles. In that, I dont have records of I think 3 fills.

I'll be honest, that is a horrid reason.
partical fills can be added, if your accounting for them in the total MPG avg count then there is no reason not to tally on a full fill.
the Miles only need to be counted from last fill to current fill and then total the gallons and divide. I am going to assume that all this is kept in some sort of DB and you can set a flag on a partical just like you would on a skip.

Ok, there is the problem then, there is no reason to skip the calc.
If I burn through say a tank and go 400 miles on 18 gallons
how is that any differnt than if I go 1200 miles on 60 gallons ?
As long as you dont SKIP a fill there is no reason to not calc the mileage. It run look back at the DB and add the total gallons and miles up and bingo.
And somethinge lse thats a bit weird the same mileage that I uploaded here figured out to a differnt mpg than my excel sheets did.
Thanks

OK I am still seeing some issues with fill ups in May.
starting 4/27 to 5/31 everything mileage wise looks correct to me and is in correct order BUT I have 3 complete fills with no calculated mpg.
Something in how your system handles partial fills is angry or something.

Thanks, when I get back into town I'll noodle through the list again and see if anything else is skewed.

ok the april booboo was a 12 vs 21 in the date.
Now looking at some other weird ness
May 22 and June 6th I belive
I have complete fills 1 with 0 mpg and 1 with 1.9
Also a partial fill is listed above ( later ) than another fill in the same day, Why wouldnt the system sort fill on teh same day by the miles ?
