Default Searching up a column

I have a receipt sheet set up where I log every receipt from every store I
buy anything from. I have a Comments column to make note of what item was
used for. In this Comments column, I also log my mileage after I buy gas.
I can then use the information to determine my gas mileage after each
purchase. I need a formula in Column H to look back up Column G to the last
number to subtract it from my current mileage. Without a formula here I have
to look back up the column, find the last number, and enter the formula:
=Miles last time I bought gas-Todays mileage. The number of rows
between each mileage entry can very depending on how many other receipts I
have accumulated. I know that =LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,G:G) will look
down a column and find the last number, can I use something similar to look
back up the column?
