Free / Plus
Set fuel, electric, and vehicle costs
Where to find it: Profile → Vehicle and Your targets
Step by step
- Open Profile and enter a recognizable Vehicle label.
- Choose Gas/diesel (Petrol/diesel in Australia) or Electric.
- Enter fuel economy or electric efficiency using the units shown on screen.
- Set the local fuel price or electricity price per kWh.
- Review maintenance and vehicle cost per distance, then save.
- Analyze an offer and compare the Operating cost section against your expectations.
Example
Example: At an assumed $0.35 total cost per mile, seven miles represent $2.45 of estimated vehicle expense before taxes.
Important: Use your real vehicle and local prices; depreciation and maintenance can matter even when fuel costs are low.
Troubleshooting
If costs look extreme, check mpg versus L/100 km, per-gallon versus per-litre pricing, and whether a manual analyzer override is active.
Create and switch saved vehicles
Where to find it: Profile → Saved vehicles
Step by step
- Open Profile and find Saved vehicles.
- Confirm DropVera Plus is active.
- Choose Add another vehicle when offered.
- Enter a vehicle name and its gas/diesel or electric efficiency and maintenance assumptions.
- Save the vehicle and set the desired default for future work.
- Before your next shift, verify the default vehicle and its expected costs.
Example
Example: Keep separate cost assumptions for a fuel-efficient hatchback and an electric vehicle.
Important: Changing the default later should not rewrite the historical cost snapshot of an already recorded shift.
Troubleshooting
If a vehicle is not available for selection, confirm Plus access and refresh the saved-vehicle list.
