I don't recall what it was but it kept track of everything including the gas stations I used. This gas station/price info was pushed onto the site and people were able to find the best deals. I wish I recalled it.Regardless you get to see some interesting trends when you manage to collect data over such a long period of time. You can even see the impact of wear on your car.

It asks for your mileage, gallons and $ per gallon. It then goes on to calculate your mpg for the previous tank and gives you projected miles and cost of filling up 1 year from now.If you use twitter you can tweet your stats or you can go to the mobile site.Oh, and the best part, it graphs your mpg per week and your mileage. mymilemarker.com is a great tool to use that basically does the same thing.

Program is called AutoBase and was a share ware. Oh, you can export the results to a spreadsheet much as you described and then delete portions of the files to clean up.
