    If you have an iPhone, and maybe an Android phone, here's how you can create an application icon that makes fuel-ups very convenient:

    1. Navigate to m.fuelly.com on your phone (Thumbnail 1)
    2. Select your vehicle (Thumbnail 2)
    3. Tap the Bookmark button and select "Add to Home Screen"
    4. Name the bookmark (I name mine Fuelly; Thumbnail 3)

    Now you have a Fuelly icon on your phone, which launches directly into a mobile-friendly, "Add Fuel-up" screen when you go to pump gas, as shown in Thumbnail 2.

    Fuelly doesn't have an app for iPhone, but the trick I explained is pretty much the same as running an app.

    Hello everyone,

    iPhone users be patient, a fuel tracking app with Fuelly.com integration is on the way (1-2 weeks). See the screenshots below.

    Unfortunately, the fully app doesn't seem to be available on French app store.

    I downloaded the Gas Tracker app and found it to be awful. The biggest problem is that it doesn't work like Fuelly in that it doesn't allow you to enter the odometer reading - you have to enter miles since last fill-up. Also, it appears to be very immature software with poor error handling causing it to crash anytime you enter something it doesn't expect. Maybe it will grow up into a decent app, but for now it certainly isn't worth paying for.

    Perhaps Mr GasTracker could provide some free app coupons for PC members so that we can help him debug it. I've had developers in other fields do this for me.

    any chance of adding support for recording electric charging for the Plug-in vehicles?
