Great review Chris, thanks for covering Fuelly.

(and I think I bought an old 19″ monitor off you from craigslist many years ago — I always meant to email you afterwards because it ended up being featured in a MAME cabinet I built for retro-gaming and it always worked well.)

This sounds like a great alternative to the current mental guestimation method (my current method).

I track my MPG’s with an Excel spreadsheet. This same spreadsheet also lists repairs and maintenance. My current car has an onboard computer which is suppose to tell me how I’m doing, but it’s always wrong so I take my receipts home and let my real computer tell me how I’m doing. Really, in this day of high-tech, why is it so hard to make a car’s system close to accurate?

My Audi’s comp tells me the average mpg consumed for the past 100 feet traveled, and average consumed total since “reset” was pushed. I don’t really know how accurate it is, but according to the comp I average 26mpg around city (driving rather aggressively), and 32mpg when I use the interstate to go to work. I can get 400+ miles on a 14 gallon tank, so the comp seems to be pretty close. Not too shabby at all considering the EPA rated my car 18city/27highway…

There aren’t too many people on Fuelly.com with my car, but their results are pretty close to mine. Unfortunately my fuel gauge doesn’t work 100%, so I don’t think I can add my numbers to Fuelly without skewing the results.

I have an old Honda Civic that still gets better mileage than new Chevy’s… I want to buy American, but until they can surpass foreign cars in reliability and fuel efficiency I can’t bring myself to even look at them.

I ride a bike and get ∞ MPG
yup, I’m car-less!
