    The cost calculator is in there now, download from the link in the first post.
    Now the 'enter' button on the fuel input screen (milage.skin) just loads another skin - milage2.skin, which allows for a price input.

    I've given it a quick test and it seems to work well enough, in metric form price is entered as cents per litre, and the calculated value is cents per km.
    If you enter the price in dollars, the calculated figure will be in dollars too.

    There's 2 new fields written to fuel.log - price/fuel unit and price/distance unit.

    Also fixed the zero not working on the fuel input screen.

    I added this to my gauge skin and it seem to work good – use the work trip only

    Also I put the X,Milage in gauge.skin and that also worked.

    What do you think would be a good way of entering it?
    After entering the fuel quantity, another skin with a numpad for entering the price?
    kind of late on my reply, looks like you added it in allready. Nice. I allways wanted a quick way to know how much a trip actually cost. I havent tried out your plugin yet so sorry if any of the questions im about to ask are obvious once you use it.

    actually, i think ill just use it before i ask any potentially stupid questions

    Today I was using this and every time it would get between 4 and 5 miles it would jump to 1234.XX and would do weird stuff and when I reset it would read 00.

    I guess it’s the way I have it setup – use only work trip - LOGWORK - RESETWORK

    It shouldn;t have anything to do with the way you're using it - that meter is independent of the others. I'll try a few things today and see if I can work out what's going on.

    can you have the part where you enter your fuel to read litres? i want plugin to output mpg but i want to enter litres into the calculator not gallons.

    Also i have set he isunits=true, so i can have mph.

    Now if only there was a way to display your gas guage, temp, voltage, etc. on there too. Then you could remove your gauges and install a second, maybe a third screen in your dash.

    I guess the big one would be your milage. You'd have keep your mileage going, or at least I would want to. If you could do this you'd end up selling the setup with the car because could never go back to the original gauges unless you could figure out a way to change them to the correct milage. That is if you wanted to remain honest.

    I did find one guy whose already added a second monitor to his Mini.

    Hello,

    I'm experiencing the following problem... I start the PC, the GPS sometimes takes about 1-4 minutes to get a lock due to trees,buildings and stuff. In that time I'm am driving normally. When it does get a lock the trip meter adds about 4000km distance to my meters and then starts to count from that but normally this time...

    Could there be a limit on the km that it adds? Say if the increase in distance is more than 15km then ignore it?

    Thanks!

    Same problem here.
    Needs some kind of buffer I think.

    I take it by 'start the pc' you mean come out of hibernation, not cold boot?
    I'll make a change so that if the time difference between the last update and the current update is more than a few seconds it discards the distance update...
