Hey, guys!

I just joined your community, being a proud Honda owner and I got a permission to present you a project that I do in my spare time, as a hobby, for over just about one year so far. It's absolutely free and will remain like that.

The project home page is:
CarSpending - The social vehicle mileage and costs tracker

So, it's a service that helps you keep track of your vehicle expenses (car, motorbike, commercial vehicle). You can enter your fill-ups and it will show your vehicle fuel consumption. Soon you will be able to enter all kinds of other expenses, like repairs, maintenance costs, purchases, insurances, taxes etc and create reminders to receive different kinds of notifications when something should be done on your vehicle. It aim's to be a robust, socially integrated online service book that could also pull statistics for users that want to just check real data about some vehicles.

It's also fully internationalized - supports all kinds of currencies, locales, measurement units (for consumption, distance, quantity per fuel type) and currently it's in two languages - English and Bulgarian, but I will expose at some point interface that would allow anyone to translate the service and prepare a localized settings-pack for any country.

I also should say that the project is in early beta (more of an alpha) stage, and I'm not telling many of the things it could and it would soon do, as I prefer to instead explain them once they are finished.

This is my personal car with some data:
CarSpending - CarSpending's profile - Honda Accord i-CTDi Executive

And this is my public profile:
CarSpending - CarSpending's profile

What I haven't mentioned is that when you enter fill-ups, you could point the filling station on the map (yep, Google Maps integration) - so if you actually intend to use it, you could tell me your country (and state) and the major filling-station brands so that I can import some venues. Any bug reports and suggestions are welcomed - either here or using the feedback button on the left of the site screen where it would be easier for me to keep track of them. Basically I'm pushing this post to get more feedback and to know if I'm going in the right direction.

The American users of you, make sure you select "US" from the top Settings menu so that you start seeing consumption in US MPG, prices in dollars, distance in miles, etc - you could customize it from your profile.

Thanks for reading this terribly long post.

 

While I'm working on few very big things on the project, I uploaded few smaller improvements that were done aside.

- You can now enter all kind of vehicle costs - repairs, maintenance, taxes, insurances, etc
- Now there is complete control over the privacy of data of the vehicle (what info to show and what not)
- In the table of fueling entries there are icons that show the urban and suburban driving (if you have entered those)
- You could delete your vehicles now
- Many other small fixes and improvements
