Fuel Expenditure Calculator 1.25.0.0
For those who want a quick way of evaluating the costs of every journey they make with their car and need to know just how much spend for traveling the full distance a utility like Fuel Expenditure Calculator might come in quite handy.
Basic GUI with all the functions in plain sight
This app will certainly not dazzle you with its looks, as it has a sombre GUI that lacks any elements of graphic design that could pass as attractive. The focus is evidently set on the practical side, so functionality prevails from the visual perspective.
The commands and functions are, nonetheless, very easy to reach, as they are kept well at hand throughout the interface and, fortunately, they are very few to start with.
The data is presented in a clear and the input fields where you have to type in the required numbers are quite generous. The results appear inside Fuel Expenditure Calculator in a large font, which makes them very easy to read.
Input the values and make the calculations on the spot
The application needs you to specify a set of figures in order to obtain the desired result, but all the computations are carried out very quickly, so there is no wasted time when working with this utility.
After specifying the distance to destination and the gas mileage of your car you will have to also include the price of gas before pressing the "Calculate" button.
There is no measurement unit specified for the last mentioned parameter, but it is safe to assume that gallons are used, especially considering the important mention that has to be made regarding the fact that Fuel Expenditure Calculator uses the MPG fuel economy value.
This means that if you are used to calculate the consumption in liters per 100 kilometer, you would better find a reliable converter to transform that into proper mileage, so as to get accurate results.
Unfortunately, the currency and measurement unit used for the MPG cannot be modified and if you think about saving the results to compare them with the real costs or simply to keep a log of trip costs, you are fresh out of luck as well.

Bottom Line
Design / UI3
The looks of this app are disappointing as they are completely dull, so only the decent organization of the information and the ease of use earn it some points here. |
Function3
The utility takes care of a very simple calculation and lacks any extra features or configuration possibilities, so this limits its usefulness. |
Security7
The application goes a bit too deep in the sensitive system areas as it requires access to the phone dialer, multimedia libraries and owner identity for no good reason. |
Battery8
Fuel Expenditure Calculator doesn't need too much power to run well, so the battery usage remains at moderate levels at all times. |
Price10
The app offers everything it has free of costs and has an excellent value since the ads and prompts are also missing. |
Compatibility10
A positive aspect about this utility is that it was built to run on most Windows Phone devices out there, starting from those powered by version 7.5 of the OS. |
