The summary page doesn't seem to be a summary of the figures on the blog [newspeak] page, and what's more it's got a mind of it's own!

In the blog for my VW I have £5 booked to minor breakdowns (2 bulbs), but if I look in the summary I have £185 to minor breakdowns. Then refresh the page, and all the figures change and I now have £211.

Speedy response as ever...

Numbers look right now, but I don't see per mile figures for depreciation and maintenance costs - is this deliberate?

Depreciation should be there. I'll sort that.

I decided not to break the individual runnings costs down per month/mile.

How about the total running costs? I though that was good as it shows the 3 way split between owning, maintaining and driving a car.

Oh and can I have the figures using the same units - it now shows £0.11 for depreciaton and 8p for fuel. Last request, honest.

On the total running costs row, you have figures in the columns for total, per year, per month but the per mile cell is blank?

Yo Ted, not sure if it's me but my profile for my Pug shows "cost over 10 months" but the start date is May 2005 so it should be 13 months?

Ok, just did another update, now it says cost over 13 months - so I guess the summary page only works up to the last blog entry rather than up to the current date.

Yep, did that because some of the older blogs that hadn't been updated were getting really distored costs.
