fuel-up entry suggestion
Another site, virginiagasprices.com has a fuel logbook that you can fill out. I prefer fuelly.com, obviously, as it has more features. But one neat thing is that they use javascript on the three entry fields (price/gallon, total price, gallons) so that after you enter two of them (any two) the third one is calculated automatically.
I find that to be pretty neat.

Facebook Connect
Yeah, they'd probably have a lot more sites using it if they did.
I personally like the popup on sites where I am commenting on a thread. For example, I may not want the comment published to facebook. Or, I already published a comment and don't want it to show up to Facebook twice.
However, on Fuelly I'd probably just click the check box and forget about it.

pb,
Here is what I am talking about.

If you look at that image, you'll see that there is a checkbox on the bottom left.
It wouldn't be a big deal for a user to click that one time if they don't want to see the facebook connect dialog again.. Also, keep in mind that you could make Facebook Connect completely optional to begin with.

It does that for me on consumerist.com and lifehacker.com, too. But, they do have a checkbox (though I don't use it) that says something like "do this each time".
I believe I wouldn't see it again if I checked that box.

Can twitterfeed handle more than one rss feed?

I don't know much about it... but a facebook application probably isn't what you want. I'd say the Facebook Connect may be just the right thing.

avg miles per...
I think Average Days between a fillup would be cool to see, too.

"It didn't quite get to full."
Yes, I came from mymilemarker.com as well, and the first thing I noticed here was there wasn't a way to put that you missed a fillup. If for some reason your last fillup didn't get recorded, it should be noted somewhere so it doesn't mess up the numbers.
