New Fuelly Design
New layout forces horizontal scrolling in a 1024px wide browser. That's absurd.

Graph widget shows old data
Looks good, thanks for the quick fix!

You can see what I mean at http://www.fuelly.com/driver/volta/stone-touring
The graph is for 3/2005-8/2006, but there are plenty of fill-ups in 2007 and 2008.

Feature request: input "validation" override
This bike only has a single, mechanical trip meter. I do actually use it to track mileage since last fillup, since the bike is pretty reliably empty by 160miles. I simply had not been recording that number since I had the odo reading, so there are no trip values in my existing dataset. Easy enough to switch for new data, though.

Just a perl script that automates the form submit, taking input from a .csv file. Nothing fancy, just submitting the form over and over again.

The trip notes are actually calculated by the script I wrote to import my existing data, I added them in when things were not looking right. That said, I can accept that odo reset is an edge case, so I've massaged my old data to work around the issue and will use trip data entry for that bike ongoing.

There have been several times where I have topped off one of my bikes with less than a gallon of fuel, to get on the same 'need to stop for gas' cycle as people I was riding with. The 'three fillups as one' thing I've worked around by splitting the data, NBD, but I've had to fake it and list a couple small top-offs at 1 gallon, which leaves my MPG artificially low.
Also, while entering this data, I've noticed that the site doesn't cope well with things like an odometer being reset to 0 (parts replacement), all of the tanks after that are giving really odd results. You can see what I'm talking about @ http://www.fuelly.com/driver/volta/stone-touring, where the calculated mileage is way off. On that page, the 'View All Fuel-Ups' link doesn't work, so you can't see the older data.
