Frequently Asked Questions

How do I log a stop?

Open the app after you fill up or charge, and enter three numbers: your odometer reading, the fuel or energy added (litres, gallons, or kWh), and the total you paid. Tap Save — that's it. Date, time, vehicle, and every calculation are handled for you. It takes about fifteen seconds. If you've set your tank or battery size in Settings → Garage, the amount is even pre-filled whenever "Filled the tank" or "Charged to full" is on — just correct it if needed.

How is cost per km/mile calculated?

Each stop's cost is divided by the distance driven since your previous stop, and the brass line on the chart is a moving average of your last five stops, so one expensive tank doesn't distort the picture. The headline figure on the Trends screen shows this average — or, when you're viewing your whole garage, a distance-weighted figure for the last 90 days.

Do partial fill-ups break the math?

No. Cost per km never depends on whether you filled the tank. Only the efficiency chart (km/L, mpg, km/kWh) needs full-to-full windows — that's why the app asks whether you filled up or charged to full, and quietly measures efficiency between full stops only.

Can I track more than one vehicle? A hybrid?

Yes. Add as many vehicles as you like — petrol, diesel, electric, or hybrid — in Settings → Garage. A hybrid can log both fuel fill-ups and charging sessions, and everything folds into one cost picture. Each vehicle gets its own line on the cost chart.

Which units and currency does the app use?

Runrate follows your iPhone's region automatically — kilometres or miles, litres or gallons, and your local currency. You can override any of them individually in Settings → Units.

How do I add the widget?

Touch and hold your home screen, tap Edit → Add Widget, and search for Runrate. The widget shows your current cost per km/mile, the trend against your previous average, and a sparkline. It updates only when you log a stop, so it uses effectively zero battery.

How do I get my data out?

Settings → Export CSV. You get a clean spreadsheet-ready file with every stop, in both metric and your display units, including computed cost-per-km columns — yours to keep, back up, or analyse.
