Move your Fuelly data to SteerLog
Updated · SteerLog: free for one car, Pro is a one-time purchase (price shown in the App Store for your country)
SteerLog reads Fuelly’s CSV export as it is — fuel-up dates, odometer, gallons, price, even the partial-fill flag. So years of fill-ups arrive with their fuel economy intact. Import is free and takes a couple of minutes. Your history ends up on your phone and your iCloud, not another company’s server.
Getting your data out of Fuelly
- Sign in at fuelly.com and open your car’s page. Exports are on the website, not in the app.
- Use the car’s export link to download your fuel-ups as a CSV file.
- That’s it. The file has columns like
fuelup_date,odometer,gallons,price, andpartial_fuelup— SteerLog matches each one by name. No editing needed.
If the export link has moved, any CSV of your fuel-ups works. SteerLog matches columns by name, and the full list is below.
SteerLog is the log you’ll still have in 15 years. It lives on your phone, syncs to your own iCloud, and you can always export it. Reminders by date and mileage show up on your lock screen.
Get SteerLogImporting into SteerLog
- Get your CSV onto your iPhone — AirDrop, iCloud Drive, Files, or email it to yourself.
- In SteerLog, open Settings › Export & Import › Import CSV. The file goes into the car you have selected. So pick the right car first.
- Choose the file. SteerLog tells you how many entries it added, how many duplicates it skipped, and how many rows it could not read.
- Check the History tab. Your entries are there, and your charts and fuel economy are worked out from the new fill-ups right away.
One CSV goes into one car. Free covers one car with every feature. More cars take a single one-time purchase. There is no subscription.
Column names SteerLog recognizes
Case, spaces, and punctuation don’t matter — Fuel-up Date, fuelup_date, and FuelUpDate all match. Only a date column is needed. All the rest are optional.
| Field | Accepted column names |
|---|---|
| Date (required) | date, fuelup_date, service_date, entry_date, day |
| Odometer | odometer, odo, miles, mileage, km, kilometers, odometer_mi, odometer_km |
| Fuel volume | fuel_volume, volume, gallons, litres, liters, fuel_qty, qty, quantity |
| Price per unit | price_per_unit, price_per_gallon, price_per_liter, unit_price, price |
| Total cost | cost, total_cost, total_price, total_spent, total, amount |
| Entry type | type, entry_type, category — values like fuel, service, expense |
| Title / place | title, services, service, station, fuel_brand, location, description, name |
| Notes | notes, note, comments, comment |
| Full-tank flag | full_tank, filled_tank, full |
| Partial-fill flag | partial_fuelup, partial |
No type column? A row with a fuel volume or unit price counts as a fuel-up. The rest become service or expense entries. If the file has no total cost, SteerLog works it out as volume × price. European decimals are safe: 9,6 litres comes in as 9.6, not 96. If you import the same file again, SteerLog skips the duplicates (same day, type, odometer and cost). So you can’t double your history by mistake.
Questions, answered
Will my fuel economy history carry over?
Yes. SteerLog works out MPG (or L/100km) again from your fill-ups, using full-to-full math. If your file has a full-tank or partial-fill column, SteerLog uses it. A partial fill is added to the next full tank, so it can’t skew the average.
Is the import free?
Yes, fully. Import, CSV/PDF export, iCloud sync, and backup files are free in SteerLog, forever. Free covers one car with every feature. A single one-time purchase unlocks as many cars as you like. There is no subscription.
Do I need an account to use SteerLog?
No. SteerLog has no sign-up, no login, and no company server. Your log lives on your iPhone and syncs through your own iCloud. So no outage, price change, or shutdown can take your history with it.
What happens if I import the same file twice?
Nothing bad. SteerLog skips duplicates. An entry counts as a duplicate when its day, type, odometer and cost all match one you already have. So running an import again, or importing exports that overlap, won’t double your history.
How do I import more than one car?
One CSV goes into one car. So export each car on its own, and import each file with that car selected. Free holds one car with every feature. Your whole garage takes a single one-time purchase, not a subscription.
Why the import is free
SteerLog starts from one idea: your car’s history belongs to you. It lives on your phone and your own iCloud. No account, no company server, no subscription. Import, export, backup files, and CSV/PDF are free forever, because a log you can’t move isn’t yours. See how SteerLog works.
