This would probably be particularly useful for those that replace a gasoline vehicle with a diesel.

So maybe for the premium thing we could have a feature that could be clicked to add $0.35 per gallon since that's about what it is here vs. regular. The option to insert the alternative price at each fill-up for the comparison vehicle would be pretty nice to have. If you don't enter in the alternative price it would automatically assume you'd be using the same fuel in the comparison vehicle.

Holy crap man, I could buy another Geo for what you saved compared to the EPA rating and I could buy a small fleet of Geo's for your savings vs. the suburban.
