    I've been trying to sign up on their website. Can't get past the prove-you're-a-human CAPTCHA test. Although I find these things hard to make out, I have entered them successfully on other sites. Have failed on Fuelly's site more than a dozen times (ironically, in order to send an email to their support folks, you have to pass the same test!). Anyone else run into this, or have tips?!!

    I signed up to it around a week ago without any problems. The iPhone app on the other hand (GasTracker+) is a bit of a mess so if you're planning to use that (if you manage to sign up on the website!), don't get your hopes up. The main problem I have with the iPhone app is you cannot enter an odometer reading of > 4 digits. Entering info on the website is fine though.

    Not really got much for you as I signed up so long ago I can't even remember whether there was a captcha thingy or not. But from what I can remember from other sites that use that stuff, normally, there is a little speaker and a little recycle icon (to the right IIRC) that if you click the former, it will read the captcha out and if you click the latter, it will replace the captcha with a new one. I do that quite often if I can't make out the one initially presented. Sorry I can can't help more.

    Usually the captcha is not case sensitive.
