I just bought a new car and my dealer filled it up. How do I record this in Fuelly?

It's not surprising to receive a full-tank of fuel when purchasing a vehicle off a dealer lot. Often times this is seen as a courtesy. Unfortunately, there are too many unknowns factored in to properly (accurately) calculate your MPG data for that fill up. Examples of potential unknowns-

• Mileage traveled prior to the fillup
• Amount of fuel pumped
• Price per unit (gallon)
• etc...

If you DO know all of these factors, then you should have no trouble adding a fuel up to your profile. You may also consider simply adding a "Purchased Vehicle" Note indicating your Odometer, and that the tank was full upon receipt of the vehicle. Keep in mind these notes do NOT contribute to your fuel economy calculations.
