Calculate fuel consumption and show cost of the route
It would be great to be able to enter the average fuel consumption for certain speeds for your vehicle and then while calculating show also the cost of the route. It can be calculated by known speeds on the road, the need to stop and go on traffic lights, the overall profile of the route. There is an iPhone app that can serve as an inspiration - http://drivegain.com

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

there is an israeli application (angi) that recieve from the car the fuel amount
combind this data with the car fuel tank, the trip destination and you can know if the driver needs to refuel and suggeste a near by fuel station.
more then that, this application retreive from the car engine (and other) problems, and u can suggeste near by garage
all the best

The simplest (initial) version could be made using only variables already calculated: distance and time. The user would have to previously input cost for distance (€/km) and time (€/min.).

This idea is similar to another, but not quite.
If we tell Waze when we fill up, and enter our car's range (either by make of car so Waze knows, or enter the range that our car displays, or enter our own comfortably conservative range per fillup), Waze could provide better data for gas stations. Do I have enough gas to get home? How far along my route can I go to get to the cheapest gas? Etc.

then publish your OBD2:Waze performance stats via
XMPP PEP
there was once an interactive table of available XMPP XEP (xmpp extensions). I cannot find it currently
http://xmpp.org/about-xmpp/technology-overview/
was here
search suggestions for
XMPP

this would only have value if your handset could interface your car via OBD2 ;)

I'd like to add to this. I think it would be awesome if you could base your route decision not only on time but total trip cost. It would be based on total toll cost (if route has tolls) plus gasoline cost. Gasoline cost would be the sum of your average city MPG (user inputted) x city miles and your average highway MPG (user inputted) x highway miles.
