Show your Fuelly

Recommended Posts

Mine took a serious dip on this last fill-up. I need to get my wife to A) stop driving my car B) stop riding in my car (and making me crank the AC up) C) stop making us late to everything that I have to drive 80mph everywhere or D) all of the above!

Just stop driving 80mph and be late to things,or insist on taking her car when running late. Eventually, she'll start allowing more time if she wants to take more time. Either that or she'll find some way to make your life miserable in some way.

 

The silver lining is we are days away from moving and I get to trade my 46 mile round trip commute for a 12 mile round trip one! I'll be able to run well within my EV range. I'm looking forward to rarely seeing a gas station and that Fuelly number start increasing dramatically.

 

I should be looking at about $0.35-0.70 daily to recharge. THIS is why I got the Energi!

That should help!

Hi everyone, in this thread, real simple, just post your fully badge. Thats it, nothing more. This way members can see what others are getting and get a good idea on average what these cars are doing. It will also help those who can't figure out how to put it in their signature, so at least they can show it.

 

If you dont know how to post a badge from Fuelly, here is how. On your vehicle page, look at the bottom right for Share your MPG. This will take you to the page with all the tags. The top one is for your Signature, the same one you see in others posts. Just copy and paste it in your post.

All I see is the HTML code, what am I missing? Tried pasting the HTML in as a link, an image, as code, and just alone in the signature form. No luck.

Copy and paste in the BBCode instead and see if that works. That's what I had to use to get my badge to display correctly.

 

OK... for those who are bit html challenged... I did the following steps:

 

1. In the Signature Editor, set it to BBCode Mode.

2. Past the BBCode from Fuelly, but remove the URL portions of the code.

3. Save the Image with no link.

4. Edit the signature again, select the image of your fuelly badge and click the Link button and paste the URL code (remove the Image code).

5. Save the changes.

 

This was the only way I could get both the link and image to appear in the signature...

 

Ok, now on to more important things like learning how to improve my MPG!

Thought I would add mine in here. Only 1 fill up thus far.

The two are just so I can see what I am used to (L/100km) and for the many others that use MPG

ok, so I've been using Fuelly since I got my 2014 FFH in October and either the car MPG display is wrong Fuelly is calculating MPG wrong.

 

I reset my MPG after each fillup, so for instance the other day I filled up my tank and my car said I was getting 39.1 mpg. When I entered it into Fuelly I got 34.8. Fuelly says my average is 35.7 but that seems pretty off as most of the times after I fill up I usually have gotten around 39-41 mpg.

There's usually some discrepancy between the two. My car's computer lists my lifetime MPG as 47.7 last time I checked but as you can see in my sig, Fuelly rates it lower by around 2.2 MPG. I believe it's due to the car undercounting the fuel being used or lost.

 

Using the gas station meter for fuel and the car's odometer for miles travelled (as with Fuelly) is considered more accurate than the MPG calculated by the car's computer.

Also keep in mind that if you use remote start, that fuel use is not calculated into the summary of any of the trip meters. This can lead to some huge variances between trip summary and actual tank fills. This is why I stopped adding to Fuelly when the cold hit since it skews the real MPG results. Idling cars dont go anywhere, so they get 0 MPG. My last fill has a nearly 2 gallon difference between the trip and actual, but I did the 3 click fill, I dont think my wife did it last time it was filled, so I put more fuel in than normal too. First click though was only 1 gallon off the trip.
