    Does anyone know how to change the default value to something higher? 200 is the default. I would like to increase it to 500.

    I put in considerable more than $200 in gas per month. Gosh, I hope it can be changed to make the graph useful.

    I am not positive but I think you can compare to your old car, just enter your old car mpg average and it will tell you how much your savings is. I think thats what I have heard.
    I am not sure though so hopefully someone will chime in if I am all wet behind my ears!

    I'm using the graphic to gauge my monthly fuel expenditure. It tops out at $200. But, as you can see, I drive quite a bit per month, and certaintly pay more than $200 in gas.

    I also use the graph to show how cool my car is to my friends. When people see graphs, they are instantly impressed. This is the exact same graph Houston used to monitor the shuttle orbiting above. LOL.
