Fuelia 1.8.0 Build 985

Watch over the gas expenses for several vehicles with a simple app for your Windows Phone

A lot of drivers and car owners are interested in monitoring the fuel consumption for their cars and also in keeping tabs on the money they spend on fuel. Fortunately, there are plenty of utilities made just for such purposes and so the choice should be fairly easy to make.

Those who want an app that they can access anytime, even while on the go, from their mobile device can try out a specialized tool that goes by the name of Fuelia.

Unappealing but very functional front-end

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 commands and functions are, nonetheless, very easy to reach, as they are kept well at hand throughout the interface.

Navigating from one section of Fuelia into another has a very smooth feel to it and there are no delays or other flaws of some sort. Also, the data you add and have the app store for easy retrieving is displayed in an easy to read fashion.

Input the required info and get the average fuel consumption and cost

The application is able to track several cars and you can switch them with one tap to view the details for every single one of them shown in the main screen. Fuelia will ask you to fill only two fields when adding a new vehicle in its database, the name and initial milometer (odometer) reading.

For the entries belonging to one car or the other you will have to specify the date (the current day is selected automatically), the odometer reading, as well as the fuel quantity and the total price. In return, you will get the precise calculation of the consumption and in the main screen the price per fuel unit.

A noticeable drawback for this utility is the lack of options for customizing the measurement units for distance, fuel quantity or the currency.

Bottom Line

Design / UI4 The looks of Fuelia are quite disappointing as they are completely dull, so only the decent organization of the information and the ease of use earn it some points here.	Function8 The ability to monitor the fuel costs and consumption for several cars is a great asset, but the missing options for changing the units and currency are a major letdown.	Security8 For some reason the application needs to access the camera on the mobile device, as well as the multimedia libraries, even if these are not related to its functionality.
Battery8 The utility doesn't need too much power to run well, so the battery usage remains at moderate levels at all times.	Price8 Despite the visible shortcomings it has, Fuelia manages to offer a good set of features for all those who want to track fuel related costs and their vehicle's consumption.	Compatibility9 Anyone with a Windows Phone powered handset can have this app up and running if the operating system installed onto the device is at least version 7.5.
