I like the idea of a mod mark but an easy way around the compressed graph problem is to make a new fuel log every year. Someone on here already does that but I can't remember his screen name right now. Yes, it's a little harder to see trends over the very long term but at the same time, it's easier to read and shows your improvement year to year so you can say "wow this year I averaged way better then last year".

Also, there is a button at the bottom of the fuel log sheet that says "export to spreadsheet" (or something like that) where you can make your own graph and add all the doo-dads you could ever want to the graph. Yes, it is a bit of a pain to do but it's probably a bigger pain to program into the website. Darin does all this in his spare time so you have to understand that things will take a LONG time accomplish considering the time commitment to write the code on top of the rest of his responsibilities he has in his life. If you know how to code it, try PM'img him to ask how you can help move it forward. Maybe he'll give you the "master password" and let you go crazy; maybe he'll tell you to pound sand; won't know until you try...
