Since flight plan leg mileage and fuel sub- and totalizers haven't made the priority list in over 2 years now, could you at least make the flight plan exportable, preferably in a comma delimited or other CSV format so that we can import them into a spreadsheet and calculate our own subs and total, please?  Thank you.

Time, distance, and fuel burn between legs is already included on the flight planning page, and it's based on your personal input for the aircraft selected (climb rate, fuel burn in climb, burn at cruise, burn in descent, airspeeds in all those phases, etc).  It's all totaled at the end, and includes forecast winds aloft, if available.  What additional information are you wanting?

On a long x-counry, I might have as many as 4 or 5 fuel stops.  If I can see remaining "fuel in tank," it helps me plan my flight better, without having to pull out pencil and paper and doing all the manual additions and subtractions, look for airports (vaguely) in the vicinity of where that will be on the flight plan, and then starting again for the next leg, while the errors are cumulative and all on paper -- when the compute engine is quite good at that kind of donkey work and we could definitely see what airports are near the "end of fuel" point.  Also helps with timing and visual waypoints during the actual flight.  It's good to know the totals at the end of the flight plan but that is only a teeny tiny part of the story.

Further, I don't land and refuel on every leg.  Maybe 1 out of 6 or 8 legs do I need to stop and refuel.
