Community Brainstorming for the Next-Generation Mileage Database
I've decided that this summer before I leave for college we're going to create the next-generation Real Mileage Database here at GreenHybrid. I can't say yet for sure if I'll code it or will hire a developer, but I ask every one of you to please contribute your ideas, feature requests and other suggestions. GreenHybrid is your interactive online resource supported by visitors like you.

Re: Community Brainstorming for the Next-Generation Mileage Database
Since the hybrid SUVs come in 2wd and 4wd flavors the database should have a way to indicate which is which and the ability to filter for either or the combination of both.
It would also be interesting to see the accuracy gap between the "calculated" (miles driven divide by gallons filled) versus the "computer estimated" MPG number. I've seen variations as wide as 2.29 MPG between the two numbers on any given fill-up.

I would like to see a space where you can input your MFD MPG average and figure my MPG based on manual calculation and compare the two.
Als as I've mentioned before, more choices for percent of traffic and highway.
I also thought it would be cool to compare my Prius to my old car a Nissan Quest, which averaged 18 MPG. So if I drove the same # of miles how much more gas would I have used in my Quest.

Ah. The ability to keep track of as many or as few variables as one wants. Perhaps even the ability to keep track of a "custom" variable if it isn't stored in the database by default.

Have an entry for whats shown on the car's calculation (FCD in the Insight) to compare to the calculation from the database.
Include a filter for CVT/5-speed for the Insights
If a file has not been updated in some period of time (12 months ?) , consider purging the data to an archive database.

I second (third?) the request for an option to post both "calculated by real-world tank" and "computed" MPG averages. Maybe after a few months of collecting such data, we can work out those discrepancies.
I'd also like to see, instead of a "which month" dropdown menu, something more like a "from the last tank date to 'now'", where you'd just fill out the 'now' date widget of course.
