Fuelly fuel log website

Couple of people have asked me why their fuel figure in their signature is not the same as the figure on the Fuelly website. The only thing I can think of is that the link between your signature and the fuelly website has become broken. I suggest that you edit the link out of your signature close the signature and then re-copy and paste the link to Fuelly back into the signature and keep an eye on the figure.
It also appears that the different links you can copy and paste into your signature link to different averages!
Mine links to my UK Average which appears to be total distance run / total fuel consumed, some have the last tank average

Good information Tim.

But there is also the issue of caching. The Forum may be caching the Fuelly sig and not updating it frequently. I think this is to minimize unnecessary data transfer. There is something about this on the Fuelly web site in the FAQ.

I noticed this just recently when I changed my Fuelly sig image - it took about 2 days to show the new image, I'm guessing this would have been true for the avg MPG reported in the sig too, but I did not check it.

For some reason my link was calculated is US Gallons, operator malfunction probably.

Now corrected.

I've just noticed something odd too, my combined average was showing on Fuelly as 51.9 (not an Evoque!), I filled up yesterday and it shows an average of 53.9 for that tank, but my combined average has now dropped to 51.5 in my signature and on the site

I logged in my Defender's fuel as well and that isn't updated in my signature - as somebody suggested previously it's something to do with Bulletin Board's system.
BTW if you have two cars I have a way to get both in the signature - normally two Fuelly's would be too many characters for the signature box........

It's absolutely not to do with the forum - it doesn't cache images like this, your browser does.

It is an issue with fuelly, proved like this:

This is NightFox's image as he's linked to it:



This is the same image but loaded in a way to stop it being loaded from the cache in your browser (only the first time you load it, mind!):



If you are seeing these to be the same (as I do) then it is not a caching problem, at least not in your browser. It's probably a caching issue at fuelly.

Thanks Martin. I'll get on to Fuelly and see if they have a fix.

See this too: http://www.fuelly.com/faq/24/Fuelly-foru...ture-cache

And I've increased the number of characters allowed in signatures, don't abuse it
