How about expanding this to include total vehicle maintenance logging?

I have been using this app for 5 years. I would love to see:

Ability to add oil change... - other repair records...

ability to sequence the way the cars so the ones you enter most come up 1st. Currently it's by numeric / alpha sequence and so you can decide the way the cars are brought up... (i put yr / car model) in description and so the older cars come up 1st

What might be a better idea is to make it possible to enter fuel data using the phone app. .
it would be so much easier than having to open a web browser and going to the site.

In answer to the first question, absolutely. Which is why it won't happen, but hey, I'd love it and use it if it were there. A fuel log is something I could have easily created as a spreadsheet as well, but never would have taken the time. The built in trending and graphs that accompany it are cool. I now plan to enter every fill up and will never have to guess/estimate my vehicles mpg. And that goes beyond the basic intent of this website as well, as well as a large percentage of the other cool things on gasbuddy. The advantage gasbuddy has over a spreadsheet is it's 'in the cloud' so to speak and will always be available for quick entry from your phone(which I can't do right now with my dumb phone, but someday I will have a 'smarter' phone) or any such device that connects me to gasbuddy.

First, doesn't that go beyond the basic intent of this website?
Second, and it's not a bad suggestion, beyond a basic spreadsheet whose entries/options would be very subjective, how much would it drain resources (i.e., computer space, etc.
