more stats and graphs

[jflinchbaugh]

I just started using this site, and it does many of the things my old app did, and things I wanted my new app to do. Now that I've found this, I'll not bother writing my new app. I'm quite excited (and disappointed for my own project).

I found a couple other stats to be useful per tank:
days it lasted
avg fuel/day

These let me acknowledge the tanks where I did a good job *reducing* my driving (or wear the over-driving as a badge of pride).

I also had graphs for fuel/day and price/gal just for good trivia -- how gas has changed price, old driving patterns, etc.

A lower fuel/day would be an enforceable behavior, and I often found myself referring back to the fuel price graph to show other people what I had collected.

I was also toying with the idea of accounting favorably for miles put on with more people in the car -- help those carpooling SUV drivers look better. "Sure I only do 10mpg, but I'm still saving the Earth by loading all 7 people into the car." Someone else here in the Tips had suggested increasing one's "People-Miles per gallon".

Really, guys, this is great work here on this site. Well done. I'm envious.
