FuelFrog Tells It Like It Is


FuelFrog is a simple website that allows you to enter data from each fill-up at the petrol (gas) station then displays your aggregated data. By providing the distance you've driven since the last fill-up, the current price and how much fuel you put in it can give you all sorts of interesting data like your average fuel consumption (I'm currently running at 8.8 litres per 100km or 0.27 MPG for you old school non-metricists).
One feature I've asked them to add is the ability to display how much it costs you to travel a certain distance. e.g. Using the data they've captured I figured it costs me $12.35 AUD to travel 100km (that's $11.68 USD per 62 miles or $18.84 USD per 100 miles)... and the bad news is it's only going to get worse. :(
