New Fuelly Design
Well, maybe I'm a bit thick, but I was scrolling up and down the screen for a fair few minutes before I spotted the "add fuel up" button.
How much usability testing did you do before setting this live?

A preview of our new site for Earth Day!
Is this a joke? Looks horrible! And it's too big for my browser. Web sites should be scalable, that's day 1 web design!!!
I appreciate you need to make money from adverts, but the ad is WAY too big! No one has ads that big!!
Please, please, please reconsider before you set this live!!

US/Imperial mpg figures
Thank you pb !
This will make much more sense to UK drivers now!
Cheers,

In the mean time, if anyone else would like to convert US MPG to UK MPG, you can use this site ;-)

But it would be much nicer to have UK MPG on this site, it seems a shame to support different countries and currencies, but not the standard unit of measurement for fuel economy in that country :-(

"Our UK testers early on said that everyone has converted to L when filling up and 100km/L was the figure most often used around economy,"
I don't know who you spoke to, but they're living in a different UK to everyone else!
Yes, we fill up in litres and have done for a couple of decades. But we ALL still measure fuel economy in Imperial MPG. No one understands km/l here!
Sadly, the US MPG makes cars look alot less economic than they should be (my Aygo reads 10MPG less that it should!)
Can we PLEASE have an option to display economy in UK/Imperial MPG?
PRETTY PLEEEEEEEEASE?
Thanks!
