User reviews

It's acceptible for basic cars. It does not include ANY diesel vehicles. It only includes basic 1500 class trucks, and even then it is lacking many (old hiluxes, etc.). MUST HAVE extension that is missing a LOT of features.

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.
