Hi all

I have started using fuelly.com, which is free, to track fuel consumption.

It works most easily if you fill up each time you refuel.

I have always wondered how (which sensors) the car can use to know how much fuel (gallons etc) have been consumed, and I therefore don't see how the onboard fuel calcs can be 100% accurate.

I don't think fuel gauge or injector timing provide enough info, and there is no fuel meter as far as I know.

Steve
