I'm starting to agree, even just having a separate kwh entry field as has been mentioned would probably be good (you should be able to note the mileage when adding fuel or kwh or both). Then the plug-in hybrid could track both electric and gas separately, and you could track your block heater separately from your tank.
So the kwh would be measured at the wall, and the gallons at the pump. But we still need a Conversion factor so you can subtract the kwh miles and not have 150mpg hybrid hummers in the garage.
