I think the thing we all need to realize is that a website is strictly utilitarian. I cannot expect everyone to follow the rules, so I must anticipate and cater to those who don't. I must expect the unexpected.
That said, if it's possible that people combine tanks (and they do), the best thing I can do is make sure that when they do, it doesn't cause any problems. Out of all the solutions, I think that simply getting rid of the farthest-on-tank record is best.
Remember, there are currently 216 "active" cars in the database. Likely 90% don't even browse the system as thoroughly as you do. So, what may seem practical to you may not be as obvious to everyone else.
