In the end, I decided to create the record and see how things progressed from there, but it does make the table look a bit odd because the first entry reads like this:

2010-02-27 | Km: 1 | Trip: 0 | Fill: 60l | l/100km: - | Price: 0.00 | Price/km: 0.00

Any thoughts? Is it throwing off the rest of the calculations in any way you can see?
The way I have designed it is that you enter the first entry like you did. The trip and fill of the the first entry is not taken into account when calculating the total consumption but the price is taken into account in total cost (quite often your get the car with quite an empty tank and you need to pay for the first tank yourself). If you enter the first overall distance like you did, the statistics gives you then the exact distance that you have driven.
