With the summer travel season almost here and the price of gas almost out of sight, it looks like most of us are facing the prospects of either traveling more or sitting at home trying to save gas.
Mike Gunderloy over at Web Worker Daily shared this great online tool called FuelFrog, which enables you to chart the price per gallon, miles since your last fill up and gallons used.
Sure, calculating such things isn’t rocket science, but now you don’t have to worry about writing down your mileage on a piece of paper or even printing out your receipt (we’re all about helping the environment). Here comes the really cool part:
FuelFrog is Twitter enabled so, after you tell FuelFrog your Twitter username, you can text @fuelfrog with your fuel data (miles, price, gallons) like this: @fuelfrog 342 3.239 10.293. To help you recall the order that you’re supposed to send it – just remember the shorthand for miles, price and gallons is MPG.
My Mile Marker is a similar Web site with even more features like projected miles, multiple vehicles and projected cost. This site is also mobile ready and has Twitter cabability.

This is incredibly interesting! I can see so many applications for this that twitter could make possible. Thanks for highlighting this helpful tool.
