The top two requests we've received since launching the site have been support for car models that aren't in our database, and support for motorcycles. We're happy to announce that we just added both to the site.
Motorcycles/Scooters
When you click the
Add a vehicle link from the sidebar or homepage, you now have the option to click the
Add a Motorcycle/Scooter tab.
From there you can choose your motorcycle manufacturer, enter a model, and select the model year. Motorcycles have their own
public directory. There's not much there yet, but hopefully it will start to fill out as people add their motorcycles.
Custom Cars
On the Add a Car form, you now have the option to add a model we don't list. If you choose your car make but don't see your model listed, choose
Other from the menu and you can type in your model name.
You can also select different model years, body styles, and engine types for your car. We started with a database of American cars, but we'd like Fuelly to be available to as many people as possible and we're hoping this change will help
Missing Manufacturers
Because there are far fewer manufacturers than models, we'll still be offering a limited list of car makers. However, we would like to add any that are missing. If you don't see the manufacturer of your car or motorcycle on our forms, you can
Request a Make and we'll add it to the Fuelly database.
Bugs!
These changes represent a fairly big shift behind the scenes and there are bound to be bugs. Please post here as you find them, and if you could include your browser/OS combo with any bug report that would help. Thanks!
