Price of Fuel in Fuel Log - Liters?

When I enter my fuel log data I have the option of selecting gallons or liters - this is GREAT since I don't have to convert!

BUT, when entering the cost per liter/gallon, it always assumes gallons. Then my driving costs are reported artificially low... apparently I've been paying less than $1.40/gallon!

Is there a setting I'm missing to switch this? It's nice to think my car is only costing $0.03/mile to drive, but that's not reality!

It's not you, it's me.

Fixing that has been on the to-do list for a while.

That's a relief!

At 70 MPG, your Metro must cost you about a penny per mile!
