calculations were off by 200 to 300% for our trips. And it way overestimated the mileage of my old car.

Absolute shite
by Dan Abel Dan Abel, 2023-12-04

My vehicle not listed, no option to add a custom one. Fuel prices only for US and Ca, with no option to manually add fuel prices. This could have been great if those options were there, unusable without them. Maybe tell users it's North America only *before* they install...?
