    I've never been able to figure out why the phone app reads a higher MPG per fill-up than the website. Just wondering if some setting needs to be changed.

    Looking at the phone app display above I note that the average fuel cost ($203) times the number of gallons in the website display doesn't add up to the cost in the web site display.

    I used the website over my Droid pad today and kept getting numbers changed. I'd enter a cost, for example, and by the time I got to gallons in the fill, the numbers in the cost would have changed. OTOH, the same approach on my PC gave no problems.

    Considering what I pay for the service....

    I just switched to the new Fuelly app as it used to be something like Fuel Tracker App. I use the app so little but did it just to help figure this out. I know on the app there are settings and mine is set to "Units" "MPG US". Perhaps you have "MPG UK" or something, as they have a bigger gallon.... or was it smaller. Any ways, check that out.

    That's what it was! I never looked at the settings on the app, as I configured what I thought I needed through the connected website. Thank you!

    It was set to MPG (Imperial).
