great app! works fine on my titan.
suggestions;
move "reset all data" to the tools menu
multiple vehicles, editable labels, set default vehicle.
different icon (key makes me think encryption/password mgr.)

Good idea on moving the "reset all data" option. That was in v0.1 before I added the tools menu If I add that option, to keep the "finger friendly" interface, the tools menu may need to scroll. Is that okay/acceptable?

For multiple vehicles, how would you want that implemented? Do you want it to ask you which vehicle you're going to be working with on each screen? Or do you want it to ask you once when you launch the program and then you need to exit/restart to change it?

As for the icon, I couldn't find a good one, so I chose the key from what I had to work with.. I was thinking key = car

well, maybe where the reset data is now, could be an icon (customizable) for the "current" car, press the button to change car, otherwise it will be used for the new entry (maybe a drop down box in the entry window if we forget)

just some thoughts... use what you like.

First off, thanks for the great program! It looks very nice! I tested it out a little and it worked like a champ!

I have a couple of suggestions They aren't super important but I thought I'd throw 'em out there...

1. I also think multiple vehicles would be great. I think if we can just select from a drop down menu that would be good (instead of exiting the program) and also have a default vehicle.

2. Is there a way to input the odometer reading instead of number of miles? Sometimes I forget to hit the reset button... then I'm outta luck.

Thanks again!

Thanks again!

thanks, I forgot to mention that too.

also something else that would be handy with this kind of app, is an oil change reminder...

Nice update!!

working like a charm on my titan. thanks! I am utterly OBSESSED with gas mileage & I've been looking for something like this for a while.

I second the oil change reminder suggestion. also, itd be cool to be able to define your car, like make/model, mileage, VIN, etc. you could also add reminders for other things like spark plugs, air filter, & whatnot.

Good suggestions!

I'll be thinking about how to implement them for version 0.3! It may take me a bit more time to get out the next version, though. I started this while I was on "non- denominational winter gift giving holiday" break (aka. christmas break) from work.

Work starts again tomorrow, so I'll be focusing on that primarily :P

This is great! I was waiting for the export/import feature. I need to bring historical data from an app on my old palm os Treo. I'll reformat it to the xml format and import. The only feature I need now is price per fill-up. And possibly enter the odometer value instead of the miles on the tank. Then miles can be calculated from the current and last odometer reading.

Excellent program!
