The honest comparisons.
Switching trackers is a bigger decision than it looks — your history moves with you or it doesn't. These guides compare FuelCap with the apps people switch from most, line by line, with the numbers as they are, not as marketing wish they were.
Switching from Drivvo?
The export lock, the 5-vehicle Pro cap, the price — and a line-by-line comparison with FuelCap. Plus how your Drivvo CSV imports directly.
Switching from Fuelio?
Fuelio was free for a decade, then went subscription in 2023. If you've been paying $17.99/yr since — or hunting for alternatives — here's the honest math.
Why FuelCap exists
No ads on any plan, export free forever, offline-first, and a lifetime option cheaper than one year of the big apps — shown in working demos and video.
The evergreen guides.
Picking the app is step one. These are everything after — how to log fills so mileage stays honest, why services run on two clocks, what your trend is telling you, and what the car really costs once you count everything.
Full tank, or fill by value?
How tank-to-tank mileage is actually calculated, why partial fills blur it, and the rhythm that keeps your budget and your mileage math both honest.
A service you never miss
Intervals are kilometers OR months — whichever comes first. What delay really costs, and the parts-notes + reminders habit that keeps a car healthy for years.
Your mileage is a signal
What a falling trend means (tyres, filters, sensors, season), why single readings lie, and how fuel price history explains your cost per km.
What your car really costs
Fuel + service + insurance + everything else: cost per km, cost per month, and how your own data picks your next car better than a spec sheet.
Habits that actually improve mileage
Speed, right foot, tyres, weight — ranked by real effect size, with the myths (neutral coasting, premium fuel) sorted from the physics.
EV expense tracking
kWh logging, home vs fast-charging prices, battery degradation, tyres and insurance — the EV costs nobody adds up, and the cost per km that settles it.
What your car really costs per km.
Running costs are half the story. Spread the purchase price over the years you'll keep the car, add the costs that never make it into per-km math — insurance, service, washes — and meet the number nobody quotes. Everything computes on your device; nothing is sent anywhere.
True cost = (purchase − resale + running × years) ÷ (km/yr × years). Straight-line depreciation; your currency, your numbers, computed on your device.
