Larry O'Neill (ID: 0000003554c9dba7) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/27/2023 My vehicle not listed, no option to add a custom one. Fuel prices only for US and Ca, with no option to manually add fuel prices. This could have been great if those options were there, unusable without them. Maybe tell users it's North America only *before* they install...?

Chris Jordan (CapHwys) (ID: 00000036b9b2d77a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/01/2023 Works well. My only suggestion would be to have more than one saved vehicle profile. So you can toggle between two vehicles to determine the costs on a trip.

Matthew Smith (ID: 0000006ced4a47c5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/25/2023 Works great. Calculates fast and accurate. Not sure if it works on mobile yet...but when this hits Google Play t will be a total game changer! So far it's GREAT on PC

EnTaroDragon ! (ID: 0000003f6ecb5f4b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/03/2023 In theory ok but useless to me atm. I've got a diesel car - mazda cx5 - not a single diesel option available to pick ;)

Igor - ᴛᴏᴘ ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡᴇʀ (ID: 000000a919f90bc9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/24/2022 Not sure for all the negative reviews but it did a good job calculating the costs in Canadian currency and has a good database of cars to select.
