1. I'm using the tags, but I don't have the capacity to do any sort of custom query, so far as I can see. In other words, unless I can GROUP BY my tags, there's not much value to them.
2. That's also what we get in Canada: a discrete limit for the end of the lease. From that I just divided by the number of days elapsed, and I knew how many kilometres I could drive in a day, on average (something like 55Km). I was able to see, "If I keep driving like this, I'll owe $1,600 in penalties when I had the car back."
Bonehead:
Excellent point. Once the tags are up and running, we could see "price/Km rolled up by retailer". We wouldn't need to know ethanol content, and also wouldn't care which retailer was cheaper per litre, since a lower ethanol ratio would be more expensive (per litre) and take us further -- it's possible that a more expensive gasoline per litre is less expensive per Kilometre. Did that make sense?
Mathowie:
Can we get our own data back out of your system, even just as XML or something? One of the reasons I kept my numbers was so I could run whatever queries I wanted. When I enter my data in this site, unless I keep parallel numbers I lose that ability. I'm also not able to validate my own data -- unless I'm missing something, once I enter a fuel-up I can only see aggregates, never my raw data again.
Thanks guys;
Duncan
