Yeah, that would be a good idea. I keep thinking a table of "relevant eco-parameters" that could be filled in by members. The person that filled in the value would be "associated" with the eco-parameter. If someone wants to change the value, they would have to "contest" the original value, maybe sparking an auto-thread. That seems like a forum class all it's own, where the threads would link directly to the value in the table. It would also be hard to classify the cars egg-zactly. My car has 3 generations * two different weights based on auto/stickshift transmission * two engine choices.

Hmmmmm, maybe one member would be given "control" of one class of car. They would fill-in values as best they can, and the details would "grow" over time with other user's input. For instance, SVOBoy knows CRX's quite well, so he could build a good CRX attribute database.

I'm not a web programmer, but it seems like a PITA to program.
