Does fuelly have a app for the phone? I haven't seen one yet.
Thanks for the tip Macksma. It appears to be working. Hey V8, I think I have read many of your posts on the Tundra Solutions forum, no?
Does fuelly have a app for the phone? I haven't seen one yet.
The car calculation doesn't seem to be exact and the fuelly calculation depends on the gas pump cutting off at exactly the same level every time. I would trust the fuelly calculation as being accurate over time though. Sometimes the pump will cut off a little earlier or later but it all evens out. I've seen that the mpg shown by the CX-5 is usually 0-2 mpg higher than my fuelly calculation.
Something I have observed on these forums are consistent complaints that the cx-5's computer is 3% optimistic and the speedometer is 3% slow when compared to a GPS. If that is legit, then fuelly reporting is also 3% low.
If your odometer is accurate then Fuelly is correct. It is not related to the speedometer.
They aren't measuring, they are reporting. Typically a vehicle speed sensor runs off of the final drive of the transmission and sends a signal to the other components in the vehicle.Maybe, but the speedometer is measuring rate and odometer is measuring distance.
Both would be off if you had a different size tire but the speedometer could be off and the odometer accurate when stock. If you drive on an interstate most have mile markers so you can check you odometer fairly accurately if you stay in the same lane and drive ten mile markers and compare you odometer change or better yet drive a greater distance...
