PumpWatt vs Fuelio: the log and the decision
Fuelio logs every fill-up and works out your real miles per gallon and what your car costs to run. PumpWatt answers the question Fuelio does not: where to fill up next. Different jobs. Put Fuelio's mpg into PumpWatt and both get better.
Which one for what
| You want to | Use |
|---|---|
| Keep a log of every fill-up and your real mpg | Fuelio |
| Decide which station to fill up at today | PumpWatt Fill up |
| See what a hybrid or EV would save at today's price | PumpWatt Hybrid or Charge up |
Your real mpg changes the answer
Fuelio says your car really gets 22 mpg, not the 26 on the sticker. At 22 mpg a 3 mile detour costs about $0.95 in gas instead of $0.81, so a sign has to be that much cheaper before the drive pays.
Pick your car on PumpWatt and the drive cost uses a number like that for every station on the card.
