You guys know where there this is going
Building a timeline of the car's life.

The graph should be generated based on fuel fill-ups.
And the costs can be added based on date/mileage as shown in the figure.

Microsift Excel for $ or OpenOffice for free.

That's a pretty simple graph, and the data labels are easy as well. Excel can handle it no-sweat.

You would have to plot a moving average, as the raw data is going to be very noisy (sawtooth).

PowerPoint is a presentation (slide deck) program, it's not for data entry & analysis.

If you just want to track fuel expenses, then sign up on fuelly.com and enter your fuel-ups there. You can even import your fuel-ups from a CSV file if you don't feel like typing it in by hand. Then they'll generate all kinds of graphs and stats for you...

I would consider using google docs spreadsheet offering if you have a smartphone. It may be easier to enter a bit of information at the time.

basically i want to plots miles vs date.
that is i enter all the data points of miles vs date and the graph plots a spline or straight line.

This is simple with excel.

However i want to enter event/costs at each of these data points which is elaborated in an interactive way (like on mouse over).

this is an example, but i am still figuring out how to use this.
