Arithmetic error in mileage

I have recorded fill-up no. 182 at 78530 miles, and fill-up no. 183 at 79004 miles. The difference between these two is 474 miles. Yet Fuelly is insisting that I have travelled 220 miles! I have checked and edited both entries, and I can't see any mistake on my part... and I've never had a problem in 181 previous fill-ups on this car. So what has gone wrong today?

Try adding 254 miles to #183 and see what happens. Maybe causing a change in the calculation will fix the glitch.

Well yes, that gives me a correct mpg for now, but it’s going to be off again at the next refill unless I keep adding 254 every time!

Does it change back to 220 when the odometer entry is corrected?

If still wrong, report your post, and maybe someone with power to fix it will respond.

What issue did you have, since you don't have any vehicles added to your garage?

I'm watching them, but giving them the benefit of the doubt right now. They haven't done anything... YET.

It has to be your browser, because I can see 2 cars in his garage, a Mazda and a Lotus.
