Thumbs up MPG calculator and the graph for Palm

I have been using this Palm application since October to track fuel consumption, price and more important MPG.

http://palmfuellog.sf.net/

Data since 10/17/03
Avg MPG - 17.63
Avg Miles Per Tank - 233.48
Avg Days Between Fill - 8.0
Max Miles Per Tank - 264.0
Total Miles - 5837.1
Total amount spend - $645.35
Fuel Cost per Mile - 0.106

Great tool!!!!

EAQR: Since we have the same model and purchased about the same time, I thought I'd put my numbers next to yours. They are essentially the same - the only exception being that I tend to fill up when convenient, not when I'm on empty:

MEGAREDS. Interesting numbers. Any reason why you don't wait for an empty tank to refuel? What octane you're currently using?

Thanks,

The car's range is so short that I try to put fuel in the day before I head off on a longer trip, just so I don't have to stop for fuel far from home. I've just switched from 93 octane to 89 octane, with no noticeable difference. I've yet to get the M flash -- that's on my list of things to do.

I have a Toshiba pocket PC and I haven't used it much. Anyone know if this will work on it and how? I really don't know how to use the thing...

To answer my own question, no, it does not seem to work on pocket PCs.
