How FuelClinic.com Works: A Brief Overview

It's very easy to start working with the tools available inside FuelClinic.com

Create a FuelClinic.com account here - it's FREE, fast, and easy to do. Then you can add each of your family vehicles into your FuelClinic Garage, tracking the fuel usage details on each separately.

Begin keeping your fuel receipts every time you buy fuel for your vehicle. Write your current vehicle odometer reading on the receipt before you drive away from the fuel pump.

Keep at least two consecutive receipts. The more receipts you enter into the FuelClinic.com system, the more accurate your trend analysis will be.

TIP: For best results, always fill your tank to "FULL" - but don't overfill - and keep receipts (with odometer reading added) for every fill-up.

Eco-Driving Techniques

Lift off throttle just before cresting a hill

Advanced Technique - Use inertia to your advantage. Even if it's not possible to build-up momentum before entering an incline (traffic can play havoc with the best-laid plans), still lift off the pedal as soon as possible near the peak. From this point, it works the same way--built-up energy carries you over the crest while the hardly-working engine practically idles along.
