This is a great start but it’d be nice to see some of the sections more detailed… for example, I drive a car that can take biodiesel and I usually fill up with that 20% of the time. Similarly, electric vehicles aren’t included in this energy calculator.

It’d be nice to let people get a lot more granular in each section and enable learning through that process as well as maybe recommend resources based on zip code to encourage people to be informed about their local programs.
