No update, other than to say it's still on the to-do list. Look for it before the end of the month.

Can I compare my kilometers per imp gallon to everyone else's miles per liter?
Sorry, I couldn't resist

When you're only "competing" against yourself it's not an issue - but when cars are being compared such as EcoModder Team Competition, you need a uniform basis for comparison. |
I mean same thing - after submit script converts liters to gallons and kilometers to miles. So database keeps all fuel logs in same units - they are converted to miles and gallons before inserting.
and this imperial gallon thing - lets make 3 options then
gallons/liters: [enter here] (*) US gallons ( ) Imp gallons ( ) liters |

Still waiting...any chance that it will be done soon?
I know i can convert units in other places like excel and online calculators but still, it is cumbersome.
one thing is inserting fueling to fuel log, other - would be nice if I could select metric and see other people fuel logs in metric units.

For the first time, I saw the new format this morning as I was entering my latest fill. Too cool! I saw my mileage choices, in my case I was happy with the default, but then VIOLA! My mileage shows up in multiple formats. Now I see how I compare to the people who use other formats in their calculations.
Give yourselves a hearty pat on the back, well done! That deserves two thumbs up

Glad you like it!
Right now, the units conversions are only being saved & displayed for new & edited fuel log entries. (So if you want all your entries to show conversions, just edit & resubmit them as-is.)
In a little while all the existing entries will be updated too.
