Fuelly Vehicle Comparisons: Part Two

[fpage77]

I've driven 10 miles now since last fill up and now it's reading full tank again after having read 7/8 all 10 miles. I don't get this darn car and it's gas gauge either the tank is full or it's not.

So, press CTRL - ALT - F and up pops the Fuelly notepad document even when you're in Firefox. Just go to the file properties on your shortcut, click in the Shortcut key field and press the combination you want to use to launch and presto! I keep the actual Notepad document off the desktop, but the shortcut needs to be on the desktop to work properly. There's probably a browser add-in or other utility that can do this as well, but I haven't looked.

But, ultimately, it would be better if the forum allowed paying members to have a signature...

Great idea, thanks

AGREED ! How about it ADMIN

I just got my Smart on Friday (5 days ago) and have filled up twice. But I did join Fuelly right after I filled up the first time, much easier than keeping track on a spreadsheet.

Mac users with Quickkeys can just create a new type text shortcut and paste in the html code for the little badge. Assign whatever key combo you want to trigger it and:
<a href="http://www.fuelly.com/driver/mvaldes/fortwo" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.fuelly.com/smallsig-us/18272.png" width="115" height="40" alt="Fuelly" title="Share and compare MPG at Fuelly" border="0" style="border:solid #ccc 1px;padding:4px;background:#fff;"/></a>

Ah well, it used to work

[mvaldes]

now it seems to want the BBcode instead of the html...

I just did what the guy earlier said about making shortcut on desktop with hotkeys and it worked nicely.

You have to use the one with URL in it.

You can't always trust what you see on fuelly I suppose. This lady got 905 miles on her car and only had to fill it up with 5.585 gallons to get 162 mpg. She puts us to shame, but really shame on them as obviously it was on purpose as they have been back since and added more fillups but didn't change blantantly wrong value. I guess nothing is perfect but I've been thinking my car is junk cause I can't get these mpg others are (probably cause some of fudging the numbers).

Hmm, interesting that my relatively massive Mercedes B 200 is only less than one MPG shy of the Honda Fit average!
