First is space. How do you fit all of these dates in the graph? What happens when someone has 300 entries? The dates will just be a black blur.

With the months, the graph starts looking really weird for some people, like myself. I fill up once every month, sometimes longer. It becomes a giant waste of space.

Then you also have to consider that having an allocated space for each month makes it so that at the most we can have one graph per year, and not a long graph documenting all fillups. The graph would also be rather large.

I'm open to ideas if you can figure out a way to trouble shoot these concerns.

Yep, thats why Jason removed the dates from the graphs at GH. It seems that there are no easy solutions to fit all of the situations but how about this...

Show the dates like I suggested but do a rolling graph that only shows the trailing 12 months. If you fill once a month, you would have only 12 data points showing but the green line would show the overall FE over all fills and the slope of the green line would indicate the trend. Even if you fill once a week, I would think that 52 data points would still display ok in the space.

Now I realize that this might take some creative programming. Sorry, I cant help you there. It's OK if you leave things as they are. I was just thinking out loud.

Oh yea, and one more thing. How do you incorporate the hypermiler status into the gaslog/chart. I think % over combined is the way to go. You might also think about displaying by MPG and by % over combined MPG.
