Actually, that would be important if you wanted to know how many "miles per gallon" you were getting. But the question was "How much do you spend each month for gas?" It's a flow rate problem. How fast is big oil draining money out of your wallet?

Hey, that's a neat idea. The program could include fuel costs, maintenance, and depreciation. So anyone who checked the meter could see how much money you were dumping into your ride.
I have a feeling the auto manufacturers would resist the idea. Like that's the last thing they want you to think about.
