I think I would set it up like this:[I added the totals to illustrate how
the account summary could appear]
EXP:Auto:Truck:
gas $40
parts $30
etc $80
Total truck $150
EXP:Auto:Car
gas $90
parts $20
etc $70
Total car $180
Then in reports when you select the accounts you want listed, you end up
with two sections that look just like that instead of:
Expense:Auto:gasoline:prius2007 $140
pickup95 $30
Total Gas $170
Expense:Auto:Insurance:pickup95 $15
prius2007 $56
Total Insurance $71
Expense:Auto:Maintenance:pickup95
prius2007
If you want total spent in gas, total spent in insurance and total spent per
vehicle, I dunno
