Agreed.

This would be an additional option; it wouldn't replace % over EPA as a standard. In other words, it wouldn't affect anyone currently using the % over EPA image.

But the idea of being able to enter an arbitrary target and track status relative to that could be a good thing (particularly if you're announcing it to the world via your sig image).

EG. I could set a target of 100 mpg for a fill-up again this summer. Which happens to be 150% over (new) EPA.
