With rising petrol prices we note that lots of our visitors like to keep track of their fuel costs and fuel economy.
This is why we originally supplied our mpg calculator and it is proving to be more popular than ever before.
Adjustments and refinements to our mpg calculator have seen many new features added. In addition to tracking your last 4 fill ups and mpg to allow you to see trends (which is now a selectable feature rather than automatic due to a silly EU directive on cookies), you can see what your annual fuel cost is.
The cost per mile proves useful to people who are couriers and need to charge a cost per mile basis and a few have emailed us thanks as they would have been running at a net loss without this information.
You can alter the annual mileage to give an approximate annual fuel cost.
We have also updated our fuel saving tips on this page allowing you to get more miles out of every gallon of fuel you use.
There are also a few other new MPG related calculators including one that gives the annual fuel cost of 2 cars from MPG and price of fuel allowing you to make an informed choice on your new car purchases.
We nearly bought a diesel because of the extra MPG but the extra fuel cost didn't add up to a saving overall so we stuck with a petrol with a lower purchase price and lower running costs.
It's amazing that most people pay around £2000 per year for fuel and still don't think of it as being a major part of their budget.
The more fuel we all save the lower the demand and this will help keep down prices and if you are believing the hype save the planet!
