Default Status of the GreenHybrid Mileage Database

For the most part, it works, but there are a few things that aren't working right - for example, the 2nd-gen Honda Civic Hybrid category.

In order to fix these issues and make the software & database easy to maintain, it will be necessary to overhaul it. To be more specific, we will be rewriting it from scratch. We don't have developer resources to devote to this task at the moment, but it's in the queue and we expect to begin work within the next few months.

The data currently in the database will be imported when we do the switch, so we don't expect to lose any information. The application will work the same way (or mostly the same way) that it does now.

Lightbulb Re: Status of the GreenHybrid Mileage Database

IMHO, a chance to remove some of the "noise" if resources permit.

Suggestion: Add a field for the last entry date, and remove all entries over 90 days or so without an update that have less than a meaningfull number of tanks (say 10 or so, at least). This will remove the fast-starters that don't stick with a program and leave first tank distortions, newbie claims, etc. in the data.

Perhaps change the screen print color for cars that are inactive. (Over the minimum tanks, but no update in the 90 day or so time period.

.


It is the ignorant among us that will eventually destroy us all.

I would suggested adding the Tahoe/Yukon 2-mode Hybrid to the database.

Default Re: Status of the GreenHybrid Mileage Database

I notice that a number of people put down the brand of fuel they use in their notes. Seems this would be worthwhile to track, at least for the major national and regional brands.
