    SnapOdo.io helps you track your Fuel Economy!

    Hello TDI Club! I've been working on a smartphone app to encourage tracking your car's fuel costs. The app is called SnapOdo and I'm looking for some beta testers and overall feedback on how I can improve the app driving forward into 2017. Please check it out at www.snapodo.io or at...

    Quick! Car Fuel Economy Survey! Help me do my homework!

    I agree 100% - YOU are more responsible for your individual fuel efficiency than the suppliers. The part of FE where fuel suppliers comes in is across different suppliers: for example: - ultra low sulphur diesel as it varies from supplier to supplier, region to region, country to country - 87...

    Quick! Car Fuel Economy Survey! Help me do my homework!

    Thanks for your brutal honesty! So far, the results of the survey are right down the middle: half do not care about FE, half do care about FE. Anyways, back to my real job... :cool:

    Quick! Car Fuel Economy Survey! Help me do my homework!

    Great feedback! I gather there is no need for *instantaneous* FE results - mostly because people recognize a fuel fill up as a "sunk cost." Regardless, it's one of the goals of the software: to build global awareness about FE. The MVP (minimum viable product) that I'm building / demoing takes...

    Quick! Car Fuel Economy Survey! Help me do my homework!

    The last question is essentially the survey hypothesis: Finding users who are interested in the app / game I'm building. The app calculates your fuel economy - through photos - but also rewards users with points for their efforts. These points can then be accumulated and used to enter prize...

    Drove a 2015 Golf yesterday

    +1 for mo_focus I only look at Diesel cars now. Last month, I had my car in the shop for 2 weeks (I got hit by a TTC bus) - Long story short, my insurance lumped me with a Dodge Avenger (a little bigger and much faster than my Golf TDI). I had to pay twice as much in 87 petrol than my usual...

    OT: York Region Startup Weekend

    Hi guys & gals, any interest in the upcoming Startup Weekend? I just registered for York Region (Markham) and I'm looking to meet up with some people prior to the event. I'm looking forward to pitching a great idea: kind of like Fuelly, but more iOS & Android oriented and fun. Any developers /...

    Another iPhone App for Diesel Geek

    You're bang on about your privacy. Unfortunately, we are living in a smaller and smaller digital world. Everything is connected to everything wirelessly and through our Internet networks. I like that the app is trying to "educate" drivers, not sure if it will accomplish that in the long run...

    Another iPhone App for Diesel Geek

    Heard about the Google + VW lovechild called Smileage as well - more or a marketing app / advert than anything else. I'm currently addicted to Waze on my Android.

    Another iPhone App for Diesel Geek

    Too bad about this being only available in the US. "Weekly drive score and timeline" sounds very interesting... Some of the other features wouldn't necessarily apply to me: - remember where you parked - crash calls 911 - check engine light

    Montreal II's w/Rubber

    That's understandable. Hope you didn't have to drive too far for the disappointment? He really could learn to use some elbow grease and clean up his rims/wheels. Could have gotten his asking price. ;) I haven't had to re-finish any of my rims *yet.* Prevention is still the way to go! I swear by...

    Montreal II's w/Rubber

    "One man's trash is another man's treasure" I picked these up on Sunday, cleaned them out and mounted them. After two days of rolling, I'm quite pleased with them. They haven't lost any tire pressure and I admit that they aren't "immaculate." If the tires last the summer then I'll be happy...
