I don't think you can do this, but I'd like 3D "future" charts of :

X=Curb Weight
Y=HP (but not a parameter in the garage, )
Z=Ecomodder MPG

X=Curb Weight
Y=HP (but not a parameter in the garage, )
Z=EPA MPG

My "prediction" is that weight*HP will yield a smooth 3d graph for EPA MPG across cars, but a "bumpy" graph for Ecomodder MPG.

First, why less decimal places?

Second, how about an alternate fuel log input for electric vehicles, without doing the math? ie, KWh instead of gallons of fuel used.

Because this isn't the Tour de France and noboby is trying to be better by a fraction of a fraction. A number with 10 decimal places is harder to read than one with 2-3. Of course, we could just use scientific notation

I'm planning on adding inputs for all sorts of stuff, k/100l, kwh, etc. Hopefully soon!

Ahh. I was under the impression it was going to be reduced from what it currently is... Then I remembered to check the date of the first post.

Average number of posts per gallon of fuel used... :P

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.

Maybe I'll work on a bargraph where the x-axis is number of posts and y-axis is average fuel economy.

I'll go out on a limb and say the drivers with higher post numbers also have higher percent over EPA (not necessarily higher mpg). Just thinking more active forum members might also be more active modders for FE.
