LPG or twin tank systems...

John have a look at what I'm doing with my Stilo. I track all LPG fill ups on one log, and record price for the petrol on another. I always brim the fuel tank between Christmas and new year so it's always full going into a new year, and then used the total £ for the year spent on petrol, and it to the total spent on LPG and decide my the mileage clocked. Tbh the amount of petrol used in summer months is minimal (I'll use 1/3 of a tank between may-sept) so the cost per mile is fairly accurate in the summer months.

A/C Impact on MPG

I beg to differ. Can honestly hand on heart say that I notice no difference what so ever with my A/C on, so much so I now leave it on 24/7 even in the winter. I'd just stick to what your more comfortable with, either with windows down, or AC on.

ATV / quads - why are they not legal?

As TheDivvy has said, although helmets are not a legal requirement on Quads in the UK, just recommended.

I plan on having one myself eventually for road use, the fun, speed and MPG :)

Cool. I look forward to it (sorry about spelling in previous post, looks like I was drunk, but was posting from phone instead. Lol).

Too large a fuel tank for Fuelly.com

Out of interest, what is Fuellys Maximum Capacity?

Idling with an auto

At VWJunky, they're call just that 'Start/stop' lol.

TBH its fairly obvious that the car will use more fuel in D rather than N.

Most car handbooks even advise shifting into N when sitting in traffic, and its basic concideration for those sitting behind you in traffic who you dazzel when sitting on the brakes. One of my pet hates!

Doesn't seem to have worked here http://www.fuelly.com/driver/mep/stilo

Perhaps when I've added a few more fuel up's it'll correct itself?

When does the 2009 change to 2010 as I've one vehicle showing total cost for 2010 and the rest showing it for 2009.

Total Spend for last year

Hi Paul. Sounds good. A small thing members might like to do which I have done to all my cars charts is add a note of anual fuel costs, for own refrence so it doesn't dissapear.

Would it be possible to have two extra boxes in the grid thing so that we can have total mileage tracked (from when car was added, is it does currently), another that re-sets anually (1st jan-31st dec maybe? to show anual mileage), and one that shows total fuel cost (again since car was added), and another than shows anual cost (like currently on there).

Would that be possible?

Many thanks.

Jon.
