Fuelly

[stash2000_2000]

OK, joined fuelly and entered first fill up data, but can't get the badge to show up in my sig. any suggestions?

It keeps telling me "invalid file".

OK, a little playing with the address and I get "Invalid URL", progress?

I would say delet your fuelly account. Then reenter all your info could just be some random glitch

taped wheels like moon hubcaps? lets see pics. that might look good in stainless steel or crome.

I think it has to do with the way that you are setting up the sig, as I had no problem at all when I went to do it, and I TOTALLY SUCK at doing anything computery, lol.

OK, so how did you set up your sig.

PM if you want.

Happy to experiment, but I've already loaded 3 fill-ups and notes into this one and messed around with getting this to link to my FF.com account for the better part of today.
If it doesn't work, I'll just go my merry way and work this through fuelly.com

[Darlo]

I see it! I guess you got it to work? I guess that is a dumb question, lol!:happy11:

[Pu241]

Yeah, but not the way it was originally described but it is working!
So Darlo what fuel are you running; 87 real gas, or 87 10% ETOH, or 89 octane.

Just Regular 87 octane, but I think in Canada (or at least in BC) all the reg is 10% eth already, so ???

I just put in the cheapest one, lol

[Pu241]

Going to run a few more tanks of 87 10% ETOH(crapoline) before I go to 89.
3 tanks in the next two weeks for good baseline.
Well sort of because of lower ambiant temps will likely see a decline anyway!

[Darlo]

I dont think you will see any difference in the 89 octane gas, except if the 89 has less ethanol, then you may see an increase....... Good luck

Previous festiva experiece should net me 2-3 mpg gain, but not in winter!
Used to be all I ran, because of MPG increase.
BP festiva showed no such increase in MPG though.

John your 155/80-12's are 3.0% taller than stock 145/80's. Thats whats causing your speedo to be off a little. When I fill up the 92 I multiply the miles by 1.03 to correct it.

Back when my 93 was stock and I was rolling on 175/70-13's I multiplied by 1.073 or something. Those were way taller than stock.

I have no illusion as to why its off.
The tires couple with the inherent Odo error leaves me with 2.5% more mileage than I really cover.
And for my own calculations, I use a correction factor and all is fine.
However, when using something like fuelly, the first thing I saw was a Odo reading. Without the option of using a "trip Odo" someone might think I was "cheating" if they never saw consecutive Odo reading due to the correction factor. Using the "trip Odo" solves that issue. Besides I know my GPS is more accurate than either my Odo, or mile markers. I just have to remember to let it power up before I move.
