New Feature: Loan and lease cost

[labrie]

I would like to suggest to add a new feature to better know the annual cost of the vehicule and have a better control its budget.

Very good website. I like it. Very friendly to use and the graphs and stats are very interesting.

It would be interesting to add the vehicle payment (lease or loan) and maintenance costs. Thus, you could add statistics on total cost (all costs) by miles, the annual cost (monthly, weekly, daily) of the vehicle, while keeping the statistics specific to gasoline.

Thus, we could have a global budget and understand the real cost of a vehicle.

This is a frequent request and something we've thought about quite a bit. Right now I don't think we're going to take the site in this direction. Changing Fuelly from a focus on fuel economy to a focus on total cost of ownership would be a significant change for the site. I definitely think there's a need out there for an app like this, but it would change the scope of Fuelly significantly.

We have discussed this a bit in the past: here, here, here, here, and probably many more.
