Fuel Calculator 1.0

Find out trip and fuel costs, average consumption and more, all from a single app for your Windows Phone
There are plenty of people who are very much interested in keeping under control their expenses and tracking costs for household of vehicle maintenance to find ways of reducing the amount of money spent on common goods and services.

For those who want a quick way of evaluating the fuel efficiency of their car and need to know just how much they spend for every mile driven a utility like Fuel Calculator could come in quite handy.

Easy to use and nicely designed front-end

This application comes with a pretty well balanced interface in which the graphical elements have a friendly look while the layout favors the practical use. The data fields where you will have to input the required figures for performing calculations are clearly lined out.

There is a noticeable downside you will come across as soon as you start the app and it is related to the presence of some advertisement banners that are continuously changing in the lower side of the screen.

Simple data entry and fast

average

calculations

This utility enables you to input the values for the added fuel, the distance driven and the price per unit. Unfortunately for an important number of users there is no way of changing the system of measurement and only the metric units will be used.

Pressing the calculator button from the main menu will immediately bring up the list of results that consists of the cost of fuel per 100 kilometers, the average consumption as well as the kilometers per liter of fuel.

Estimate trip costs taking into account passengers

A neat feature of Fuel Calculator is its ability to give you a precise appraisal for the costs of fuel when traveling with other people who contribute to the acquisition of the necessary gas. Thus, you can provide the trip distance, fuel efficiency and price per liter, then input the number of people to split the costs with and the computations will be done on the spot.

A word of advice for adding the numeric values: you should begin with the field placed in the lower side of the screen because the numeric keypad that appears will take up a lot of space and you will have to close and reopen it to be able to reach the fields it covers. When the last entry line is picked, everything shifts up so you have access to all the data entry boxes.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
 

The application has a decent look, with some pretty well done graphics and the major disturbance from the visual perspective comes from the adverts.

Function7
 

This utility is very quick at working numbers, but it needs to support the Imperial and US units and it could use a log or history section where users can save the results.

Security5
 

Fuel Calculator is quite inquisitive and looks into several areas of the system unrelated to its actual functionality.

Battery9
 

The power consumption is barely noticeable for this app, so the battery usage remains at very low levels at all times.

Price8
 

Very useful for those who use the metric system, Fuel Calculator needs a bit of improvement to accommodate the needs of a lot more users.

Compatibility8
 

The app is tailored for use on the more recent handsets that are powered by Windows Phone 8 and above.
