Larrydag: good points. The intention is to develop the garage much more extensively, with multiple lists (people love lists) by vehicle type, absolute & % over EPA values. There are a few more ideas bubbling away on top of those.

PM: the reason it's not sortable by % over EPA is because it's calculated dynamically as the page is spat out. I'd need to make that a db column, or do the EPA calc during the query - and ultimately one of those is the goal.

But before I do that, the next thing I was going to add is for the many cyclists on the forum: a 'cycle log' for calculating distance traveled in the current year as % driven vs. % ridden, that generates a sig image with a "progress bar" in it.

After that, more time developing the garage. There's a lot of neat stuff that can be done in there.
