Sigh... it's futile. Those imitation sites try and mimic what we've got here. Then, one update later by yours truly and they'll be blown out of the water. Quite unforunate, really...

In all seriousness, where can I get more information about this database-in-the-works?

 

You mean the one I mentioned? You can talk to matt (the owner) via aim at mltimion, or drag his email off the site, I dunno, I always talk to him on aim, he told me t'other day he was almost done.

 

Something I like about the fueleconomy site is it's ability to store fuel cost. It would be interesting to see how much money we've spent on fuel individually and as a whole!

 

One step further: Adding not only fuel costs, but also adding a feature to track costs of maintenance! That way, we can have a total cost of ownership. We could add our oil change costs, air fiters, any other maintenance costs, and even possibly our out of warranty repair costs.
