Question Suggestion for real mileage database.

I think it would be great if you could have it so that you can sort the non-hybrids by car type and see what the average mileage of a certain car type is. I wanted to know if there are any aveo drivers that have posted their mileage but it is impossible to figure out from the list of non-hybrids.

Apart from that it looks great

Default Re: Suggestion for real mileage database.

Before the recent reorganization of the real mileage database, it used to have a column for model type. Back then, you could view listings for "hybrid cars", "non-hybrid cars", or "all cars". But as the number of hybrid models proliferated, this form of listing became cumbersome and the recent reorganization allows you to see lists by hybrid model type or "non-hybrids". But it doesn't show model type anymore since they aren't needed in the hybrid model lists and that's where the main emphasis of this database lies. Those who have non-hybrid cars entered in the real mileage database may want to modify their car name to incorporate their model type into the name making it easier for those viewing the list. I changed the name of my car from Keeps on rollin' to KeepsOnRoll'92CivicCX. There is also a glitch in the database program where if you enter tanks with the distance travelled, but with 0.0 MPG, it shows an improbably high accumulated MPG (see entries for "My Smog Machine").
