MRV,

The normal data plots (Add Data) are for tanks. It clearly states this on the page. The "best" and "worst" mileages are simply attributes you can stick to that car and update manually if you so choose. Note that they're only optional. Many like to use it for their best tank (like myself), and others record 30 of their best miles or so. None of it is listed for statistical purposes, and is simply displayed on your detailed page without any calcuations.

Also, what do you mean you could not input tenths? There are two text boxes. The first is for integers and the second allows a tenths place.
Ah, by "mileage" you really mean "fuel economy." Must really be confusing for those who live in countries that are metric...

When I see "mileage" I think "what my odometer says," which is closer to what you call "distance" on your "Add Tank" page. Most definitions for "mileage" are for length/distance. see: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=mileage

On the "Edit Cars" page or the "Add Tank" page, "Distance" is only one text box, so I'm assuming that it only takes integer values (since you clearly have a tenths box for your confusing "mileage" line).

Again, do you have some form of bulk uploader for tank data? (say, upload a comma-separated text file with the data in certain fields?) I really do not want to have to enter 100+ tanks, which is why I went with just the "optional" data entries on the "Edit Cars" page.

unfortunately to post, your site doesn't seem to like my preferred web browser, so I don't think I'll be around much, so my responses will be slower than they'd otherwise would be (have to go load up a different browser when next am able to...)
