Find out what your journeys cost and how to bring that cost down

mattbearman

Hi all,

I built and run the website TripCost.co.uk, it is free to use and will tell you how much you'll spend on fuel for any journey in any car.

It also has tips on how to drive more efficiently and functions as a full journey planner.

I'd love to hear what you all think of it, and hopefully it can help save everyone some money on future journeys.

Cheers
Matt Bearman

It doesn't work in Firefox - just hangs at "calculating trip" :rolleyes:

In ie, it's decided Birmingham is in West Virginia!!!

Not even Alabamha!!

I think I will stick with filling up driving and then filling up.

Cheers for the feedback, it's still in an early development stage, which is why I need these kind of responses.

I'll try to answer problems in order:

1 - can you tell me what you put in for your from and to locations?

2 - It's working ok for me in FF, from and to locations would be a great help, it's possible you guys have helped me find a town that causes it to hang

3 - that's an odd one, did you use the drop down list? as that should give you birmingham, west midlands, which is right.

Cheers

And the type ahead boxes in ie only list Brighton as being in cornwall - what about the CITY of Brighton in East Sussex?

Yeah it did the second time - I type too fast and use the tab buttons and then hit return the first time so the list never came up - but see my comments about Brighton :rolleyes:

This time it hung again and didn't work in Firefox:
I typed from: Brighton - no suggestion box appeared
To: Birmingham but chose West Midlands in the suggestions.

Hang on calculating.

Went back and added , East Sussex to the end of Brighton and then it works

Can't get the prompt box to show anything at all in Firefox when I type Brighton into the from field.
