Fuelly FAQ

What's the difference between tracking with Trip Miles vs. Odometer?

There are two ways to track your miles between fuel-ups:

Trip Miles (or km)
If you already track the number of miles (or kilometers) you drive between fill-ups with a trip odometer, you can set Fuelly to calculate your MPG with each fuel-up. Tracking with trip miles is the default setting.

Odometer
If you don't want to track the miles between fuel-ups yourself, you can simply enter your odometer reading each time you fuel-up. You won't get any stats on your first fuel-up, but Fuelly will begin tracking your miles (or kilometers) from then on.

Setting Your Preference
You choose your tracking method when you add a car. You can change your tracking method for a particular car by visiting your car's profile page and choosing [Edit This Car] below the car description.
