Default Re: Erroneous entries in the mileage database

OK, so that is why I had trouble entering my last tank.

I had returned from a 1200 mile trip, had the total gas volume at hand and I was unable to enter it as usual. Fortunately, I enter my mileage at another database and I was able to enter the actual MPG for just 1000 miles. Not very accurate I must say.

I feel that limiting the traveled distance without taking into account a reasonable gas volume could prompt a tank submission to be less accurate.

Please let me know if I did not explain it well.
