Review: Fuelly

Just as I started searching thru my archived files for my old excel spreadsheet that tracked mileage and auto expenses, I stubmled upon Fuelly.  Fuelly is dedicated to helping you with tracking your gas mileage over time.  What is cool about this site is that you are able to see the MPG of others that you can compare against your own.  Fuelly also contains a forum site that allows users to discuss tips and tricks for attaining the optimate MPG for their vehicle.

Sign-up

Sign-up was a breeze!  Email, password, username, and captcha.  Fuelly then sends you an email for verification.

Adding your vehicle

Again, extremely easy process.  Choose your vehicle, how you want to track this vehicle, and give it a name.  What’s cool is that after you add your car, Fuelly actually gives you the estimated MPG for your vehicle

Adding a Car

MPG Information on Your Vehicle (as you can see, I have just signed up)

Now what I really like about this site, and where my excel spreadsheet was an epic fail, is the mobile functionality.  Any browser-enabled mobile device can connect to Fuelly Mobile, where you can update your odometer settings and add your fuel purchases!

Conclusion

From what I see, I’m a big fan.  Now I can archive that Excel spreadsheet forever!  What will be interesting is to see how Fuelly evolves.  I’m hoping to see additional auto maintenance features like tracking oil changes and regular maintenance.  That would make this site a must have for all!
