SciLor's Fuel Blaster vs. GasMate

Since Iam 18 and have a car I decided to calculate the consumption of my car. As a programmer I thought of creating a tool to do this:

Here is it:
Everytime you refill your fuel-tank you just type in the needed data into the program. It Show for every Statistik a number for total, average, min, max. AND a graph :)
Also you will find a nice csv import/export function ;)
Have multiple cars? try it ;)

Code:

ReadMe

You will need .NET CF 3.5 and SQL Server CE 3.5 (Should be included, SQL-Pack on FuelBlasters WebSite) Links at the Bottom

This is a little program for tracking your fuel consumption.
It has got a "touch-friendly" interface so you are able to use it without your stylus.

CSV import Howto:
A semicolon(";") seperated "export.csv" in the SciLor's Fuel Blaster directory will be needed.
Following coloumns are needed:
	"kilometers" - trip kilometers (relative) - ex. "656,6"
	"fuelamount" - refilled gas - ex. "48,98"
	"priceamount" - money payed for the refill - ex. "64,11"
	"priceperliter" - price you payed per fuelunit - ex. "1,309"
	"timeprint" - timeprint - ex. "30.06.2009 14:09" or "2009-30-06 14:09"
All other coloums will be ignored!


ToDo:
-Feature: Adding fuelprice in total price not in price per liter
-Feature: Notes feature for each entry
-Enhancement: More Skinning (ex. the arrows)
-Enhancement: Edit entry
-Enhancement: Changable Date/Time

Thank you for your posts :)
It is nice to know that's useful

I am open for some design ideas :) Iam a programmer not a designer.
I think I found a fix for a landscape problem so I hope it is fixed in the next version.
Also I will improve the scrolling performance, it is so slow on my kaiser

allowing changing of metrics would be good. Like from pounds to Dollar symbols, switch between km/miles

although it's just a label it does make it nicer :)

Very interesting application.
Up to now I used to write down all those informations on a sheet of paper in order to tranfer it to a spreadsheet.

I managed increasing the fps of the scroller, now it is fluid on my kaiser :)
Landscape problems are mainly gone.

@NeoXTC
I think first I will just create a config file, where you can change the texts ;)

@SaBo
Would a CSV Export or something similar be useful?

could you give me the error? A screenshot or so, maybe the .Net 3.5 Framework is missing or the sql server ce,

DotNET CF 3.5: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
SQL Server CE 3.5: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...70-a70a-43b3-87f3-7ab67b56cbf2&DisplayLang=en

No...framework 3.5 is not missing for sure but it could be the later.
I uninstalled it but I will install it back and give you the details.

UPDATE:

File Not Found.....System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=3.5, Culture=neutral, PublickeyToken=3be235df1c8d2ad3 or it's dependencies was not found.

Thank you

Thanks for your reply.
I am really interested in this program because I have a Fiat 500 of 1969 and the fuel indicator is not working well, then: I tried the first file sqlce.wce5.armv4i.cab but gave me the same error, then I installed the file sqlce. ppc.wce5.armv4i.cab but I had no luck, always the same error. After the installation I have ever done a soft reset but ... nada

My device is a Polaris with 6.1 ROM build 21042.
I do not know what to do.

Thanks and sorry for my english.
