Calculations are only for the starting zip code average fuel cost. It doesn't do the correct math. It though I could drive from Maryland to North Dakota on 30 gallons of gas. LOL! Great little visual app, IF the calculations did 2 things 1. averaged cost of fuel along map route 2. did the correct math!

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